Outlaw

The men in Diana Saxton's life taught her a hard lesson in male strength. Now she sticks to her studies of civilizations long dead. Her heart may long for a child to hold, but she has no interest in the physical closeness it takes to create one. Spending the summer on the MacKenzie Ranch in September Canyon studying Anasazi pots sounds perfect - until circumstances saddle her with everything she fears in the form of Tennessee Blackthorn. She distrusts and fears the attraction she feels.

Tennessee doesn't trust women - but he's strangely attracted to Diana - even though she's done everything but climb out the window to get away from him. But Blackthorn's don't marry. He can keep Diana safe, even teach her to trust again, but finding a show more future isn't something he expected.

Sweet, sassy, traditionally formatted, but the characters are likeable and the writing is good. show less

Diana and Tennessee for this one. Probably my favorite of the series. Again, it's a fun re-read if I have an hour or so. Nothing earth shattering here. Standard 80s romance.
