In trouble's arms

by Ronda Thompson

When Loreen Matland spoke to her brother, she was very clear: If the man who answered her ad for a husband were ugly as a mud fence, she'd keep him. If not, she'd fill his hide full of buckshot and send him packing. No matter how badly she needed him. Unfortunately, Jake Winslow was handsome. Lori had learned long before that good-looking men were trouble, and Jake proved no exception. Of course, she hadn't been entirely honest with him, either. She had difficulties enough to make his flight from the law seem like a ride through the prairie. But the Texas Matlands didn't give up, even to dangerous men with whiskey-smooth voices and dark-fringed blue eyes. Even if their kisses could make a gal go weak in the knees. And yet, in Jake's warm strong arms, Lori knew he was just what she needed -- for her farm, her family, and her heart.
