The Outlaw Groom

Seems like every female in Lee's Mill, Missouri, is married or about to be—but Cora Lawford doesn't even have a beau. Not for long . . . the young schoolteacher's pretty face and figure—and her independent spirit—are much admired by Luke Gibson, a new man in town who has all the women whispering. Luke is dogged by rumors, and it's said that he went to prison for a crime he won't explain. His troubled past—and a good-for-nothing brother—are about to catch up with him. But Cora is certain Luke is innocent.No matter what the gossips say, they belong together, come hell or high water . . . and her heart will be his forever.
