The Duggans of Montana — Molly Ann Wishlade

Harlot at the Homestead Sometimes retribution finds its own way but sometimes it needs a helping hand. When Catherine Montgomery shows up at Kenan Duggan's homestead, she expects him to be surprised. She's been gone two years and she's devastated to hear that her former fiancé was forced to give her up for dead. Catherine never stopped thinking about Kenan and hoped that they'd be reunited one day. She has suffered at the hands of another but nothing tortured her as much as being apart from the man she loves. She doubts, however, that Kenan will be able to forgive her when she reveals her secrets. As Kenan battles his desire for revenge, their mutual desire reawakens like a creek bed in the rain, and soon they are swept up in rediscovering their all-consuming passion. Retribution often finds its own way in the Wild West and the men to blame for Catherine's disappearance may well find themselves paying for their crimes in unexpected ways. That's if Kenan doesn't get to them first! A Rancher for Rosie There's only one rancher for Rosie Duggan, but the course of true love never did run smooth. It is springtime, 1871, and Rosie Duggan is in love with Joshua Hampton, a handsome rancher's son. Joshua is seven years her junior, but they have fallen hard and hope to marry. Joshua's parents have other ideas. Firstly, they believe that Rosie is too old for their son. Secondly, they do not want Joshua marrying into the Duggan family. They believe that the Duggans are tainted by their association with Catherine Montgomery and her mysterious past. Rosie only wants the best for everyone she loves, so she makes several difficult decisions, preparing to sacrifice her own happiness to protect those around her. But sometimes the people we love are prepared to make sacrifices, too, so Rosie could well find the happiness she craves with her gorgeous rancher.
