Julie Garwood's stunning New York Times bestseller For the Roses has become a phenomenon: the much loved tale of the Claybornes of Blue Belle, Montana, inspired a trio of delightful novellas, and a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, Rose Hill.

In Come the Spring, the Clayborne legend continues -- as Julie Garwood weaves together their magnificent tale with a touching new love story.

Adam, Douglas and Travis Clayborne are each happily married, and their beloved Mama Rose is overjoyed with the wonderful ladies who have joined the family. But all the Claybornes wonder on which side of the law their restless brother Cole will land. Now, Julie Garwood brings her irresistable mix of heartwarming wit and thrilling sensuality to a memorable Clayborne reunion... and at last we meet the elusive stranger who has slipped in and out of their lives, a man who lured Cole Clayborne into a shadowy chase, and who will now bring unexpected turns to Cole's uncertain future.

Daniel Ryan is a hard man set on vengeance, a U.S. marshal driven by tragic, heartbreaking loss from the past. His quest leads him to a beautiful young woman, the sole witness to a terrible crime -- and the only person who can help him. But the lawman finds that love is perhaps the greatest risk of all as he unwittingly draws her into the line of fire. The power and drama of their blossoming passion, entwined with the spirited adventures of the Claybornes and the surprising choices of the wayward Cole, make Come the Spring as poignant as it is unforgettable.

In the wonderful storytelling tradition of all her acclaimed Clayborne tales, Julie Garwood brings to life "a family whose love and loyalty will truly inspire" (Romantic Times). Come the Spring confirms once more why she "attracts readers like beautiful heroines attract dashing heroes" (USA Today).
