Donna K. Weaver

One titled wildcat. One rugged cowboy. And a dangerous holiday they'll never forget. Lady Madeline Wycliffe may be a duke's daughter, but she's no damsel in distress. Banished to the Wyoming frontier by her father to break her spirit, Maddie is determined to choose her own future. When she learns her brother is already en route to drag her back to England, she takes matters into her own hands. Better to marry a near stranger than surrender to a cruel arranged match.
Willie Kendrick is a quiet cowboy with a gift for training dogs and keeping his head down. When Maddie looks at him like he's her last hope, how can he walk away? Pretending to be husband and wife is only supposed to buy her time. But sharing one roof brings unguarded moments, unexpected laughter, and a growing tenderness neither of them planned for. But then the past catches up in a most unexpected way.
Maddie must decide how far she's willing to go, and who she can trust, to protect those she loves.
