Husband in waiting

by Margaret Martin

ABBY AND THE OUTLAW With a heartful of hurting, Abigail Malone headed home. Surely in cozy Winston, Arkansas, her fatherless little family would find peace.... Abby found anything but! For Reed Mackintosh, the sexy rebel of her teenage dreams, was waiting in the wings, all grown-up and tempting as sin. Reed's broad shoulders promised shelter for Abby and her son. But the rest of him offered comforts no respectable single mom should consider.... And Winston tongues wagged. Would the eternal bachelor give the pretty widow a moment of rapture and a raft of bittersweet memories? Or would the reunion of sweet Abby Malone and notorious Reed Mackintosh finally lead to everlasting love?
