Putting History back in Romance
Marie Logan: Strong-willed, independent, and
intelligent, she’s one of the boys. When her younger
sister comes home – pregnant and unmarried she’s
furious. Determined to show Jack Mardsen the meaning
of duty, Marie finds herself butting heads with his older
brother, William.

Easy to love, but hard to tame, William is a man who
could easily get behind the walls around Marie’s heart.
Thrown into the situation with the head strong
Canadian, William learns his future is more than an
emotionless plan. Together, they’ll forge a love that is
strong enough to remove any border – and unite two
countries.





William Mardsen is the son of a dirt
farmer, who made his fortune in beef.
Now he’s set his sights on marriage,
kids, and a successful career as a
law-man. Standing before a preacher
with the perfect bride - William finds
himself face to face with an irate
gun-toting figure.
