FIRST COMES MARRIAGE... To U.S. Marshal Dare Kincaid, guarding an uptight schoolmarm was as exciting as watching water boil. But when the town gossip began buzzing about Victoria Cooper's scandalous behavior with him, Dare announced he was her husband. How nice for a confirmed bachelor to have a wife he couldn't even sleep with! THEN COMES...? Parading around town with her gorgeous "groom" made Victoria feel so good. And she felt even better when Dare introduced her to things that proper ladies didn't even think about. But unfortunately, when her need for protection was over, so was her wedded bliss—or was it?

Jean M. Heaton, alias Caroline Cross, lives and write just outside of Seattle with her husband and daughters, one very large hairy dog and one picky little Siamese cat. She says: "I will never forget the first time I read a Silhouette Desire. An avid reader of everything *except* category romance, I was surprised to find myself swept up in the magic of two strong people falling irrevocably in love against all odds. It was both a moving and exhilarating experience, and one I do my best to recreate for my readers. For me, every new book is an adventure. I love strong, larger-than-life heroes, heroines with the courage to take chances, the roller coaster ride of two special people coming together – and always, happy endings."
