AKA: Marriage

For years, undercover cowboy cop Shane Holiday had tracked Lillian Smith's every move, watched her every curve until he made her the offer she couldn't refuse—marriage.

Shane's looks had nothing to do with it, Lillian said. She needed a husband to adopt the baby she craved. Now, with a baby in her arms and a cowboy in her heart, she hoped her secret past was behind her….

It was only to be for a few weeks. Live together and pretend intimacy. But a "wife" and "son" tamed Shane, bringing the lone wolf from the Lone Star State to his knees. He'd married vowing vengeance—but would he become a husband and daddy for real?
