The moment Carson McKay saw the sexy blonde at the dance hall he wanted to throw her over his saddle and gallop hell-for-leather to the closest church. Given his reputation as a lover and a fighter-not necessarily in that order-it wasn't surprising she gave him the cold shoulder. But he definitely wasn't expecting the right hook when he goes to steal a kiss.
Carolyn West might look sweet and innocent, but she's no fool. The good-looking cowboy with the heart-stopping smile didn't really want to marry her; he just wanted to take her for a test ride. But when he kisses her a second time, she can't fight her burning attraction to him…until she learns he's one of the McKay cowboys she's been warned about.
Carson doesn't care about the long-standing feud between their families-he knows Carolyn is meant to be his. And the more intimate they become, the more Carolyn sees the real man behind the reputation-a man who wants the same forever connection she does…a man who will stay by her side and give her the love of a lifetime.
