High country bride

Angus McKettrick, a rancher in Arizona Territory, has grown tired of waiting for his three sons to settle down. He sets a contest: the first son to marry and father a grandchild inherits the Triple M ranch. The sons are very different men, and each is set on winning.

Kade McKettrick has five mail-order brides waiting at the local hotel, every one of them willing to give him the heir he needs. Kade is also the new marshal of Indian Rock, and an outlaw gang keeps him busy.

Then there is "Sister Mandy", who is plainly no nun. Mandy Sperrin is running from her outlaw stepfather and wears a solemn disguise to stay hidden. She means to keep her wild, passionate nature from the respectable townspeople.

Kade finds her hard to ignore, and she notices. This Western romance sets a lawman's duty and an inheritance race against a woman's need to stay hidden, and the heat between them builds once he makes his interest plain.
