Ed Talbot isn’t husband material. He’s an outlaw, was forced into his father’s gang at the age of thirteen, and is wanted Dead or Alive in more than one territory. But now his father is dead, he hates the life, the blood, and his brother’s rages. When a stagecoach robbery goes awry, Ed ends up with a satchel full of charming letters from an enticing young miss. Unfortunately for Miss Lizzie Cobb, … Cobb, her betrothed is now dead, and Ed Talbot sees a way out. Impersonating a fine, upstanding young man shouldn’t be too difficult. Despite the risks, falling in love with her proves to be all too easy.
Isolated on her mother’s ranch just outside of Tombstone, Miss Lizzie Cobb doesn’t have the time or the means to find a respectable husband. As a half Apache woman in the Arizona Territory, being a mail order bride seems like the only solution to her problem until she realizes that San Francisco is too far away, and she’ll have to leave her vulnerable mother and baby brother behind. Her solution? Call off the wedding.
When her groom shows up on her doorstep, she’s shocked. He’s handsome, strong, and has traveled hundreds of miles to claim her. His kisses inflame her body and his presence soothes her soul. Falling for the rugged man is beyond her control. But the past has a way of catching up to outlaws, and facing the truth is going to be hard…for both of them.

Well written, an enjoyable read.
Don’t waste the time or the money.
It’s romantic and very hot
Outlaw wanting to go straight sees a chance after finding letters on a man his brother murdered. Oh yeah the large amount of money the man was carrying helped a lot to.
There’s a good reason Ms. Woolf is a bestselling author. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to the next!
Loved it! Couldn’t put it down.
Great story, exciting page-turner… and it’s always wonderful when the devil gets back one of his own.
This book was just what I needed after the last book I read made me so sad. I love that about Cynthia Woolf, her books are always sweet lighter reads. I loved the plot. Loved the characters. I really enjoyed this book, although it isn’t my favorite from Cynthia Woolf it was still a good one.
Enjoyed this book
An outlaw has a chance to make for a better life by pretending to be someone else. it was a good story. the characters liked each other from the beginning. They just took awhile to actually get together. The story was sewn up pretty quickly.
A fun book an enjoyable read.
Couldn’t get into it
a novel for light reading – a good story line and strong characters…………. entertaining.
I wanted to like it. But I couldn’t.
great for light reading
A different perspective on the mail order “husband”. The switch of identities added to the storyline. I enjoyed the read!
I enjoyed the story, in spite of poor (or no) proofreading. I liked the hero’s triumph over his upbringing.
Kept me interested – strong male and female characters.
It was a decent read. Well written. For anyone really into romance novels, I would recommend this book. Not my favorite type of book, but it was good.
Mediocre plot. Needs more character development.
