Search - Gunslinger's Bride (Montana Mavericks) (Harlequin Historical, No 577)

Brock Kincade returns to Abby and his son Jonathan.

Good book! Abby is forced into a marriage and holds it against the absent father (who also happens to kill her brother). When Brock comes back into town he has a lot of surprises waiting.

Eight years ago, Brock Kincaid had tried to put Abby--and her brother's senseless death--out of his mind. After all, a man whose livelihood was tied to the ivory-handled six-shooters at his hips couldn't allow emotions and memories to dull his senses. But seeing her again had brought it all back: the passion, the hunger, the confusion. Nothing had changed, and yet, when he looked into the face of her child--everything had changed. Abby needed a man to match her fire, and he would be that man. He would know his son, teach him and be a father to him. Now if he could just convince Abby to believe in him again...and the future that was meant to be!
