Harden

Every soul in Texas knows Harden Tremayne as the unpredictable wildcat son of a wealthy rancher. When beautiful Miranda Warren breezes in from the Windy City, Harden realizes there is actually something in this world he cares about, which is a darn shame considering he's never wanted for anything until now. One night he saves the life of the lovely but newly widowed Miranda. The desire grows over the weeks and months between them and gives Mindy something to live for. When Harden demands they marry, Mindy agrees. But after the wedding Harden avoids Mindy as much as possible and when they do meet his words are cruel ripping her to pieces. Mindy packs her bags to leave.. Born into a sprawling ranching family, rugged Harden Tremayne was the toughest, wildest man ever to come out of Texas. And the loneliest. Until he met Miranda Warren, the lovely Chicago widow who aroused feelings too long denied -- and a yearning for something that could never be his... Miranda had never felt anything as overwhelming as her passion for the long, lean cowboy. But Harden couldn't give her the one thing she so desperately craved.... Then she discovered the tragic secret he harboured deep in his soul. She loved him... But was her love enough to melt his hard, hungry heart and help them make a new life -- together?
