The Mackenzies: Cleve by Ana Leigh
This was a good story even if it didn’t have my name in it.
The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict this story.
A Woman Defiant
A sultry, dark haired beauty, Adriana Maria Fuente left a Spanish count at the altar. Now she's in Fort Worth searching for an elusive Mexican named Antonio, for a reason she refuses to reveal. And she's willing to put her life on the line to find him.
A Gambler Determined
With his deadly arch-foe back in town, the last thing Cleve MacKenzie needs is a distraction. But when an exquisite enchantress appears at the doorway of his gambling saloon—breathless, alone. . . and dressed in a wedding gown—Cleve knows he is looking at the woman of his wildest dreams. Yet he doesn't know how long he can keep the hot-tempered Adriana safe from danger—or from his own burgeoning desire. For he has been beguiled by her fire and her passion . . . and by a hunger that sets his heart racing as never before.
