[Brides of the West 13] • An Unexpected Welcome

Cord McCall hadn't been home for ten long years. He wouldn't be here now if his mother hadn't died. He'd bury her and leave as the town of Doubtful didn't welcome him. But the doc and Lilly did. Lily was the sweet girl he's left behind, the girl he couldn't quite forget and now she was more beautiful than ever and welcoming him home with a kiss that set his heart on fire.

Cord had been through the war, and used his gun for hire, but he'd never set down roots. Lilly had worked in a saloon, then bought the saloon later. But the previous owner had raped her some years back and now she had a son.

Lilly and her boy presented a sweet package for Cord. He was ready to settle down once he'd been welcomed home by the pretty red-head. He wanted to claim Lilly and her kid and make a life with her, but he had a few things to take care of first. Could they put the past behind them? They had t try!
