Hearts of Desperation #3
The Lawman's Little Surprise
It's a bittersweet homecoming for Trish Clayborne when she returns to Desperation, Oklahoma…and comes face-to-face with her ex-fiancé. Morgan Rule broke her heart when—without a word of explanation—he called off their wedding. She figured things between them were about as over as they could get. Until she found out she was pregnant.
Morgan is stunned when he hears the news. He's even more shocked when Trish tells him she plans to raise their child on her own. Not if he has anything to say about it! But how can he do right by Trish and their baby without revealing his true reasons for ending their relationship? And will Trish let him?
This honorable sheriff has some explaining to do!

About the author
Roxann Delaney
33 books12 followers“Simply a Kansas girl” is the best way to describe Roxann Delaney. Born, raised and having always lived in the Sunflower State, she’s also traveled to 48 states, Canada, Mexico and Cuba.
Books and reading have always been a major part of her life, but theater and performing arts called to her in high school and she later became one of the founders of a community theatre. She's come to the conclusion that reading, writing and acting are nothing more than ways to become someone else…at least in her own mind.
Roxann has lived on a farm, in a small town and has returned with her four daughters and grandchildren to live in the city where she was born. Books and reading are an integral part of not only her life, but her family's as well. Her oldest granddaughter is named Scarlett (yes, of Gone with the Wind fame).
When she isn’t writing or reading, she's designing Web sites and keeping in touch with friends, both old and new. She is proud to be one of the Ditzy Chix, is a member of WARA (Wichita Area Romance Authors) and enjoys sharing happy-ever-after stories with readers.

July 27, 2011A nice story. Some things were never fully dealt with, like John's drinking and the whole situation there, but overall a quick light read.
Trish Clayborne is home from a brief book tour to promote a children's book she had written. Leaving the town where she had grown-up, and returning to the aftermath of her broken engagement, the first thing that happens is she is pulled over by ex-fiance Morgan Rule. He had explained that the wedding was off after she postponed the wedding for the tour.
Morgan knew he should never have asked Trish to marry him. After the drive-by shooting death of his partner in Miami, he had been there to help his partner's wife pick up the pieces of her life, listening to how difficult it was for the wife of a lawman. He had vowed to never cause that kind of pain to a woman, especially Trish, knowing how much she loved him, and he loved her. He had thought he was safe in a small town, but even there he had ended up with a gun pointed at him, so the wedding was off.
Trish was back, pregnant, and demanding to know why Morgan would let her just go. He needed to face the fact they loved each other, and get over the past and start to live in the future.
