HUNTER
He was the last person Blaze Adlington wanted to see when her covered wagon pulled into Fort Bridger. The beautiful orphan was desperately trying to make a new life for herself in the wilds of Wyoming. But now she was face-to-face with the man who'd hunted down her father's outlaw band, and the hard look in his gray eyes told her he would never let her forget her sordid past.
BLAZE
She seemed so young and innocent, but Hunter Ward knew better. She was the kind of woman who would only trample his wounded heart. Still, his pressing need for a housekeeper to care for his motherless little girl forced him to approach her. And when she demanded marriage in exchange, he found himself agreeing. Against all reason, he began to hope that this was the woman who could warm his empty home and light up his lonely life.
Always a daydreamer, and often scolded for it by the grandmother who raised her, Norah Hess always wanted to be a writer. At eighteen, she was sent to Chicago to live with an aunt after her grandmother's death. It was there that she met her husband. After raising three children, Norah decided to write her first novel, and since then has had fifteen published romances. After her husband passed away, she and her two cats moved to Palm Springs, where the desert and mountains inspire her to write her Western romances.
