KOLBY'S COME BACK... Cade Kolby is trouble and Zoe Bradshaw knows it. But she still feels the fire they once shared—before Cade left her and their one-horse Kansas town to become the most feared bounty hunter in the territory. Now Zoe needs him to deal with his late sister's orphaned children. So she sends him a message. . .and Cade Kolby comes home.. . .TO A READY-MADE FAMILY Cade would like to settle down, but every quick-draw with a grudge in the vicinity is gunning for him. The last thing the charming, road weary gunslinger needs hanging around his neck is a troublesome quartet of kids, their pet tarantula. . .and Zoe Bradshaw, the proud, pretty miss he used to be sweet on, who now feels qualified to raise his sister's young'uns. But the local townsfolk know what's best for their returning hero and the lady he once left behind—even if Cade and Zoe don't. And any subterfuge their meddling neighbors can devise is fair game-as long as it reunites two reluctant lovers. . .and four adorable imps who desperately need a daddy.

Lori Copeland was born on 12 June 1941. She had a relatively late start in writing, breaking into publishing in 1982 when she was already forty years old. Over the next dozen years, her romance novels achieved much success, as was evidenced by her winning the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, The Holt Medallion, and Walden Books' Best Seller award. She has been inducted into the Missouri Writers Hall of Fame. Despite her success in more mainstream romantic fiction, in 1995, she decided to switch focus. Her subsequent books have been in the relatively new subgenre of Christian romance. She has also collaborated with authors Angela Elwell Hunt or Virginia Smith on a series of Christian romance novels. Lori and her husband of over forty years, Lance, live in Springfield, Missouri, surrounded by the beautiful Ozarks. They have three grown sons, three daughter-in-laws, and six wonderful grandchildren, and two great-granddaughters. She and her husband are very involved in their church, and active in supporting mission work in Mali, West Africa.
