Some marriages are made in heaven. But as Sandra Chastain proves in this stirring, sensual novel, others are made on the run. As a young orphan, Josie Miller was rescued from a life on the streets and given a good home. Josie owes everything she has—from her hard-won law degree to her impressive knowledge of medicine—to that simple act of kindness. So when a bullet-riddled man is brought to Josie’s house, she is determined to care for him. Even after learning that her patient is running from the law, Josie can’t control the fire that the rugged loner ignites inside her—despite her vow to never, ever bind herself to a man. Some call Sims Callahan a thief; few believe he’s just an honest man trying to clear his name. Only Josie trusts him—and every night they spend together in Wyoming’s Big Sky country, Sims feels an intensifying temptation to accept the tender innocence she offers. When Sims flees again, the prim and proper Josie finds herself a willing hostage who’ll stop at nothing to save him—even if it means marrying him to do so. Praise for The Outlaw Bride “A wonderful western romp—poignant, funny, and sparkling with captivating characters you’ll root for. I loved it.”—New York Times bestselling author Nicole Jordan

In the 1934 classic It Happened One Night, heiress Claudette Colbert races away from the altar and a conventional marriage and throws herself into a wisecracking rough-and-tumble affair with Clark Gable. The new brand of movies following in the wake of Capra's kooky masterpiece-and the women starring in them-are the focus of Kendall's The Runaway Bride, a look at the films that mirrored the climate of the Great Depression while at the same time helping Americans get through it. Kendall details the collaborations between the romantic comedy directors and the female stars, showing how such films as Alice Adams (with Katherine Hepburn), Swing Time (where Ginger Rogers enjoys "A Fine Romance" with Fred Astaire), The Awful Truth (with Irene Dunne), and The Lady Eve (wherein Barbara Stanwyck's shapely leg repeatedly trips naïve millionaire Henry Fonda) came to be, and what they said about the 1930s. Written with erudition and enthusiasm, The Runaway Bride is a trip through some of Hollywood's most memorable moments, and a key to the national issues of an era as revealed in its films.

In the second novel in the New York Times bestselling McKettrick Cowboys trilogy, Kade McKettrick is determined not to lose to his brother in the marriage race—but he hadn’t counted on falling in love. Kade McKettrick’s got five mail order brides-to-be at the local hotel, and they’re all more than eager to brave the frontier and provide the heir that will win Kade the Triple M ranch. The newly appointed marshal already has his hands full with a troublesome outlaw gang, yet he can’t seem to think of much else besides “Sister Mandy” who is obviously not the nun she claims to be. On the run from her outlaw stepfather, Mandy Sperrin is hiding a wild, passionate nature beneath her solemn disguise, and when Kade makes it clear he wants her, she finds she cannot resist her own heated desires. But are her ties to a shadowed past more threatening—and closer—than Kade realizes?
