“Book Descriptions: When his bride-to-be spurns him for a wealthy old man, Heath Jackson decides to enjoy the rest of his days as a bachelor. Fortunately for him, swearing off marriage isn't much of a challenge. After working his family's ranch by day, Heath is quite content to keep company with saloon girls and widows by night. Besides, the only suitable replacement for his runaway bride is the much-too-young and much-too-eager Jenny Harper.
Since the day she watched him leap from a galloping horse into an out-of-control wagon to save an elderly woman, Jenny has been in love with Heath. Now all grown up and ready to wed, she's determined to convince him she's no longer a child. Deep in her heart, she knows Heath Jackson is the man for her, even if getting his attention means competing with the swarm of women who occupy his free time.
When tragedy puts the Harper homestead on the line, Jenny must set aside her dream of marrying for love to find a willing husband fast. As Heath watches other men vying for Jenny's hand, it's obvious none of them will do. She's grown into quite the sassy little spitfire with a reckless streak a mile wide. She deserves to be claimed by a strong man with a firm hand who can keep her safe and rein her in.
