Mattie Ingram—the love of his life and the mother of his child—was the most stubborn, independent, contrary woman in Nevada. And in the lonely months since he'd seen her, he'd discovered he needed her more than breath itself. But Mattie was having nothing to do with him!
A baby coming, her business failing… What else could possibly happen? Mattie wondered. Well, the father of her child could insist on becoming a permanent part of her life. But if Jared McQuaid thought that one night of passion gave him the right to a lifetime commitment, he had better think again!
AMAZON I gave it 4 Stars
I enjoyed this story. Mattie and Jared were interesting characters, with their own share of challenges and griefs.
Mattie was such a good woman and working so hard to hold things together. After, her late husband died, she fought hard to hang onto her independence. She wasn't going to be trusting any man that way again for a very long time. Jared was familiar with the deceased Mr. Ingram and is shocked at how highly esteemed he seemed to be. Jared knew him better, and their wasn't much good about the man. But Jared is so over his head when it comes to a normal life. He's been a U.S. Marshall for ten years, and had hunted ruthless, dangerous criminals for those years. Always having to be on watch against danger and in some pretty harsh, lonely places. One look at Mattie was all it took for him to long for this town and this woman to be his home. She is one stubborn woman and his pushy ways had her back up. It just made him want her all the more. All he wanted to do was make her life easier and to include him. He'd take the former if he couldn't have the latter (right away at least).
This town had some interesting people in it and some action, twists and turns as well as Jared trying to win Mattie's heart and hand in marriage.
