JOSIE BELLE PICKENS WAS IN A JAM... She'd always imagined sailing into matrimony on a wave of passion, not on a current of convenience. But she had to wed within a week—and lacked a groom. Until, like a wondrous Sioux warrior, her long-lost friend Ben Standing Bear rode to her rescue. So potently handsome, he turned heads even in the small Southern town that had rejected his kind, and still, Ben bravely accepted Josie's proposal of a six-month marriage. Trouble was, their old friendship suddenly caught fire, and soon Josie was sizzling. And instead of awaiting an annulment, she ached to burrow into Ben's arms—and live happily ever after in his heart.
