The Impossible Bride

He made a promise she couldn't refuse.
She became a bride he couldn't resist.

To start a new life, Deborah Edgerton takes a job far from the wagging tongues of Austin, Texas, where everyone is aware of her scandalous past. But soon after stepping off the train in Galveston, Deborah is shocked to discover that the "position" she is expected to fill is that of wife--to a man desperate enough to deceive a woman into becoming his bride.

A ruggedly handsome man who defies convention, Patrick O'Connor promised his young son a new mother by his sixth birthday--and marrying Deborah was part of the plan. Falling in love with her was not. When business calls Patrick away from home, he decides to bring his new wife and son with him on the adventure of a lifetime--knowing full well that it may be his only chance to persuade his reluctant wife that he is her one true love . . .
