Patterson-Cannon Family Saga: (1) Duncan's Bride
Reese Duncan needs a bride and
this time, love (or more accurately, lust) won’t be playing a part in the
equation. His first wife, April, had been wholly unsuited to ranch life. After
two years she fled back to the City, mercilessly taking half of Reese’s ranch
in a divorce that almost bankrupted him. Seven years later, he’s almost back in
the black and he wants children to carry on his family’s legacy.
Madelyn ‘Maddie’ Patterson is
twenty-eight years old and bored of her City life. Her step-brother Robert gave
her a job in his company after the death of his father and her mother to help
her cope with the loss, but Maddie feels that she has long overstayed her
welcome. When she sees Reese’s advert in a newspaper, she intrigued and
tempted. She’s always loved country life and she feels that it’s time to settle
down and have children. What better way to do it without the hassle of a
time-consuming courtship and engagement?
