The Clayborne brothers were a rough gang of street urchins -- until they found an abandoned baby girl in a New York City alley, named her Mary Rose, and headed to Blue Belle, Montana, to raise her to be a lady. They became a family -- held together by loyalty and love if not blood -- when suddenly a stranger threatened to tear them apart...Lord Harrison Stanford MacDonald brandished a six-shooter and a swagger, but he soon proved to be a gentleman to the core. The brothers taught him frontier survival, while Mary Rose touched his heart with a deep and desperate passion. But soon, a shattering secret would challenge everything Mary Rose believed about herself, her life, and her newfound love.

They're held together by loyalty and love and the girl that they've called Mary Rose has just returned from school. Lord Harrison Stanfor...
I can't believe I'm saying this but I wanted the end to be longer, I wanted to read about Harrison reaction when Mary Rose tells him the news, about Mama Rose and so much more. But at least there are more books and I'll get my answers than although it won't be the same as hearing them from the chara...
I found this book extraordinarily charming. Garwood's historical romances showcase her ability to weave an incredible love story around wonderfully human characters, each with their own sense of humor, flaws, and vulnerabilities. This book took me on a journey together with the Claybournes, four lon...
