Now years later as a Texas Ranger he is determined to find the Cooper gang and have justice served. What he didn’t expect was the mail order bride, Destiny. Pretending to be one of the Cooper gang members was supposed to be easy to get them once and for all. Lane didn’t count on the attraction for Destiny. She came from the city to lead a new life but as a ranger Lane knows she is hiding something. Though they are married Lane is starting to wish it were for real. Can he tell Destiny his real identity without endangering her as well?
Destiny is running away from her old life. She had no choice. Now on her way out to the west she has no idea what to expect only that it is a new beginning. Seeing Lane for the first time she knows she has made the right choice by marrying him. Yet each day with him she is feeling more womanly desires than she has ever felt before. Being in Lanes arm she is wanting more than marriage but also a family. She knows Lane is hiding something also but doesn’t know what. Can she keep this marriage without her secret being revealed?
Oh my god Bobbi Smith has done it again in this beautiful tale. I fell in love with Lane from the beginning. You can feel his heartbreak and newfound happiness with Destiny. Yet you can also see his fear of finding love again. Bobbi sure knows how to keep a reader’s attention and Lane is definitely all man in this book. Great book and definitely can’t wait to find it released on the shelf so I can get my own print copy. Loved it Bobbi.

Book Blurb for Runaway
Running Scared
Destiny Sterling had to get away from St. Louis. Otherwise she’d never escape her stepfather’s hot hands…or his hideous plans for her. Her only hope was to pose as a mail-order bride traveling to Texas to marry a rancher.
Running from the Law
Dan Cooper was as low-down mean as they came. He took pride in his gang’s rough reputation…and the string of successful robberies they’d pulled off. His ace in the hole was a remote Texas ranch where he planned to lie low if things got too hot.
Running the Show
Texas Ranger Lane Madison knew the Cooper gang would show up at the Sundown Ranch sooner or later. All he had to do was play the part of its new owner…and wait. What he didn’t count on was having to marry a vulnerable young beauty to keep up the role, or the inescapable attraction that made any secret between them impossible.
