The Marshal’s Rebellious Bride

Angelina Wakefield, better known as Whiskey, is Dodge City’s beloved mischievous imp. There is little she won’t dare to do, proper or improper. With her English earl father back home in England, her two older brothers are left to watch over, protect, and try to guide her as best they can. No matter the lectures she receives or the occasional session over a knee, she rebels to go her own way. Finally the brothers decide what she needs is a strong man they can trust to both love her and tame her. U. S. Marshall Morgan Rydell seems perfect…but not to Whiskey.

Morgan has a dark history, a feared reputation as a lawman, and is a dangerous man with a gun. He is a target for any man wanting to challenge him and make their own reputation. Because of that he has no intention of ever marrying or ever settling down and bringing his son to live with him. Even if he wants to, how can he do that and risk endangering anyone close to him?

Then his U.S. Marshall buddy nearly dies and makes him promise to marry his sister, Whiskey. How could he refuse a man who has saved his life so often? But when his friend lives, he still feels honor-bound to the agreement he made. Plus the brothers offer him the chance to buy the Wakefield Ranch. It’s a dream he longs for and can’t resist no matter the possible dangers ahead. To finally have his son with him, to stop riding the trails…the drawback is having to marry the spirited, sassy, far too independent for his peace of mind Whiskey. And, damn, if the sexy little minx doesn’t appeal to him in the worst way. Even when she continually tells him she won’t marry him.
