MARRIAGE ON THE RUN
Wild and rowdy Pierce Delaney and his two brothers are notorious throughout Dry Gulch, Montana, for attracting all sorts of trouble. Now a misunderstanding has left Pierce with a bullet in his back, forcing him to take refuge in Zoey Fuller's root cellar. And the spirited, headstrong lady is threatening to turn him over to the vigilante mob that's hot on his heels unless Pierce agrees to a short-term marriage.

LOVE ON THE MEND
Zoey doesn't trust Pierce Delaney--she doesn't even know him. Nevertheless, she needs a husband to help her foil the schemes of a thieving banker who wants her ranch. But as the handsome, wounded stranger heals under her gentle care, Zoey begins to see the true mettle of the man--his strength, his charm...and his masculine fire that sets her blood racing at a fever's pitch. Though he has sworn to leave after fulfilling his promise, his hot kisses say he burns for her as well--and they've freed a passion in two guarded hearts that could keep Zoey in Pierce's loving arms forever.

Review:

Rugged rancher Pierce Delaney doesn't trust women and has vowed never to marry; beautiful Zoey Fuller is far too busy trying to save her ranch from greedy Samson Willoughby to even think about a husband. Unfortunately, Samson not only wants her ranchland, but he wants Zoey as well.

When Pierce is falsely accused of a heinous crime and then shot by a Montana vigilante while escaping, he finds refuge in Zoey's root cellar. Zoey removes the bullet and saves his life, but when Willoughby's threats loom larger, she forces Pierce to marry her at gunpoint and rescue her from Willoughby's clutches. But Zoey didn't plan on falling in love with her reluctant bridegroom, and Pierce certainly didn't plan on finding a wife quite so enticing.

Just when Pierce and Zoey think they've resolved their difficulties, tragedy strikes and Willoughby surfaces to threaten their lives once again. Before Pierce can claim Zoey forever, he must first save her from the evil forces that seek to claim her for their own. Readers who love Mason's historical romances will be delighted with this addition.
