Rescued by the Ranger

He returned to Montana to catch a killer, not to lose his heart to his brother’s widow.

Montana, 1885

Being falsely imprisoned for robbery and presumed dead was bad enough—but discovering his sweetheart had married his brother nearly broke Trace Edwards’s heart.

Now a Texas Ranger, Trace has returned to Montana for one reason: to investigate his brother’s death. But he can’t deny that his passion for Annabelle is even stronger than it was all those years ago…

On the Lazy E ranch, stolen cattle threaten to ruin everything Roy left behind. Annabelle is fierce in defending her late husband’s honor, refusing to yield as suspicion mounts. Chasing outlaws across Texas was dangerous work, but protecting Annabelle tests Trace’s hardened heart like nothing else.

Facing the woman he never stopped wanting is a bitter trial, yet clearing his family name demands all his grit. To uncover the truth behind Roy’s death, Trace must untangle a deadly web of lies before danger strikes again.
