Shotgun Bride - Linda Lael Miller

One ranch. Three sons. Only one will inherit, and on one condition. In the second novel in the New York Times bestselling McKettrick Cowboys trilogy, Kade McKettrick is determined not to lose to his brother in the marriage race—but he hadn’t counted on falling in love.Kade McKettrick’s got five mail order brides-to-be at the local hotel, and they’re all more than eager to brave the frontier and provide the heir that will win Kade the Triple M ranch. The newly appointed marshal already has his hands full with a troublesome outlaw gang, yet he can’t seem to think of much else besides “Sister Mandy” who is obviously not the nun she claims to be. On the run from her outlaw stepfather, Mandy Sperrin is hiding a wild, passionate nature beneath her solemn disguise, and when Kade makes it clear he wants her, she finds she cannot resist her own heated desires. But are her ties to a shadowed past more threatening—and closer—than Kade realizes?
