The Bounty Hunter's Sister
2019
A single mother finds out she has a bounty on her head that her brother’s best friend is determined to collect in this sweetly suspenseful historical romance!Charity Powers isn’t aware of her late husband’s debts, and she certainly isn’t trying to dodge payments when she and her four-year-old daughter board a train. They arrive in the cozy small town of Cedar Falls, Texas, to attend her brother’s wedding. The moment Schmidt Barnes tracks her down, he realizes something more sinister is afoot. Unfortunately, his lovely target can’t afford a lawyer to defend her, and she’s way too proud to accept money from family or friends. He can think of only one other way to provide the round-the-clock protection she and her daughter need—by marrying her. All that’s left is convincing the stubborn beauty that exchanging vows with a rugged bounty hunter is truly her best option. This book was previously part of the Silverpines Series and has since been rewritten and re-edited to be part of the BRIDES OF CEDAR FALLS—uplifting historical romance stories full of faith, hope, love, and cowboys!

Barbara Goss

AKA Barbara A. Masci & Barbara Masci-Goss From Kindle Author Page: Barbara Masci Goss is now just Barbara Goss. I live in Western New York State and have three grown sons, two step daughters and 10 grandchildren. I wrote my books in the early '90's and now that I'm retired I have obtained the book rights and am converting them to Kindle. That's exciting for me because I don't read paper books at all anymore. I have designed new covers with a new author name: Barbara Goss. My first two books "Captured Heart" and "Forbidden Legacy" went to a second printing in the mid '90's and the publisher added my name as Barbara Masci-Goss, but I now prefer to keep it short and sweet. From Author Website: I'm from Western New York, and I live with my husband and two cats, Mandy and Molly. I wrote these books in the early 1990's in paperback. My publishers were Fleming Revell and Baker Book House. Now, I have the rights and have put them out on E-Books so people can still enjoy them. My goal in writing these books is to provide clean but still romantic and adventurous novels for all ages. I've always felt that we needed more clean, wholesome books. When I wrote these books there were but a handful of Christian romance writers. Now, thankfully there are more. My biggest influence in writing was Grace Livingston Hill. Enjoy.
