The Rancher's Runaway Bride

by Judith Bowen

Cal Blake's ranch, the Rocking Bar S near Glory, Alberta, is doing pretty well, and Cal's pretty content with his life... but he's been thinking maybe it's time he got married. Then, one fine September day, he meets Nina O'Shea O'Sullivan on the road to Glory. She seems to be attracted to him, and he's sure attracted to her. They begin exchanging letters... and the following spring, their long-distance romance leads to marriage. The rancher brings his new bride home to Glory, but there's something he doesn't know about Nina, something her letters didn't tell him. She's not EXACTLY who he thinks she is! That summer, when she leaves, there's another thing she doesn't tell him: she's pregnant. MEN OF GLORY: A cowboy town in cowboy country. This is a place a woman could love. These are MEN a woman could love!
