A cowgirl and a nobleman join forces. Abigail Waters knows how to ride horses, rope cattle and run her own ranch, but to her friends and neighbors, she’s just another pal. The husband and family she longs for seem out of reach until she meets middle son Reg Worthington, exiled to his family ranch in the Texas panhandle to prove himself.

His chances of proving himself to his father and earning his passage back to England seem remote – until he meets Abbie. The two misfits join forces to help each other out.

A marriage of convenience with a twist. Third son and vicar Cameron Worthington never expected to be part of a shotgun wedding – and certainly not as the groom. But when he wakes up in a barn after a storm to find the farmer pointing a gun at him and demanding he marry a very frightened – and very pregnant – young woman, Cam does what any gentleman would and says “I do.” His bride, Caroline Allen, doesn’t know what to make of the handsome British parson, but she’s more than grateful to escape her father’s wrath, and her own shame at having been seduced, then deserted, by a local outlaw. The couple travel to her uncle’s ranch to wait out her pregnancy, where Cam becomes involved in local politics, and Caroline prepares to leave him as soon as the baby is born. But fate – and love – have other things in mind for the couple, who maybe, just maybe, belong together after all. Originally published in 2000 under the title Runaway Ranch, The Runaway is the third volume in the Titled Texans series about a family of English nobility who set out to tame the American west.
