Sandra Chastain’s bestselling western romances shine with her special blend of love and laughter. Now the award-winning author leads us once again into the heart’s untamed territory as a mismatched couple rides a blazing trail to passion. McKenzie Kathryn Calhoun doesn’t mean to rob the bank in Promise, Kansas. But when she accidentally does, she doesn’t think—she runs. Suddenly the raggedy tomboy has the money to make a life for herself . . . if she doesn’t get caught. But it’s just her luck to find herself sitting across the stagecoach from a dangerously handsome, gun-toting preacher who seems to see through her bravado to the desperate woman beneath. John Lee Brandon figures that the feisty redhead is running from something. A hired gun, he’s masquerading as a reverend on his way to a mining town called Heaven—and it will take a shrewder lady than Macky to pull the wool over his eyes. But when the town welcomes them as “Preacher Adams” and his wife, he’s caught in a charade of respectable wedded bliss. And the two of them are headed for a showdown between lies and love. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Ride with Me, See How They Run, and Ivy Secrets.
