She's never forgotten Carter Prescott's kindness to her, but can she trust him to keep her and her daughter safe now? Though she's offering him a marriage in name only, Carter has one nonnegotiable condition-Desiree will have to share his name and his bed!

THE UNFORGIVING BRIDE

From the moment rancher Falcon Whitelaw sees Mara Ainsworth, she's the woman of his dreams-but she belongs to someone else. Then a tragic accident leaves her widowed-and she blames Falcon. But it seems marrying him is the only way to save her daughter's life. Can Falcon convince Mara to forgive him and make this a marriage for real?
