Tanner

LONESOME LOVE Roxy Bartel needed a husband. More important, her son needed a father. But how could the lonely saloon owner think of other men when she couldn't forget Tanner Graylord, the man who'd proposed to her eight years before? And how could she ever forgive him? He'd shown her firsthand all the pleasures love had to offer, then abruptly walked out of her life, leaving her to bear his child alone. Well, now Tanner was back. No longer the poor cowboy Roxy's father had despised, he returned from the war to the most prosperous cattle ranch in Denver. Though he tried to put the past behind him, when he saw Roxy he was, flooded with desire and memories of those soft, sweet nights. If only she knew that he had never stopped loving her, could never stop loving her, they might live the life they'd always planned--in each other's arms. Roxy needs a husband and her son needs a father. But how can she consider the attentions of men when she can't forget the pain that Tanner Graylord had put her through when he had left her alone and pregnant. Now Tanner has returned. No longer the poor cowboy, but a rich cattle rancher. Could it be that more has changed than just his financial status?
