Fill-In Father…and Husband Sweet mail-order bride Nancy Bennett can’t believe it when her husband’s exposed as a cattle rustler-and killed. And when the banker holding the ranch’s mortgage questions whether she can run the ranch on her own, the pregnant widow has nowhere to turn. Until steady foreman Hank Snowden proposes marriage…Wracked with grief about his role in Lucas Bennett’s death, Hank resolves to do right by the man’s wife and child. So it’s natural for him to step in as Nancy’s newly minted husband. But the marriage of convenience may become more than a mere obligation…if only Hank and his bride can brave the first steps toward elusive true love.Lone Star Cowboy League: The Founding Years – Bighearted ranchers in small-town Texas
