    About this ebook

    Chicago ADA Olivia Kincaid was dedicated to getting violent criminals off the streets – until a brutal assault nearly took her life. Now, with her would shattered, she retreats to her father’s Colorado ranch, hoping to reclaim some lost piece of herself.

    Even here she can’t feel safe though, because her father has created a work-release program that allows convicted felons to roam freely about the ranch. But when one of the men arouses a desire she thought was long dead, her deepest convictions are turned upside down.

    Six years ago, Hank Elliot was imprisoned for a crime he says he didn’t commit. Olivia has heard countless criminals claim their innocence. Still, something about the proud, determined man makes her want to believe him.

    But when a local woman is found murdered and suspicion falls on Hank, not even Olivia is sure whether the man who’s broken through her defenses is a cold-blooded killer …

    Maureen McKade

    Currently living in North Dakota, I appreciate the traquility and rich history of the northern plains. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, golfing, birdwatching, hiking, and camping. Outlaw's Bride is my fifth historical romance. My first book, Winter Hearts, was nominated for both the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart and RITA awards. My fourth book, Mail-Order Bride, was also offered through Doubleday Book Club. I live with my husband (an Air Force officer), one very spoiled cat, and our newest family addition, a French Brittany Spaniel, which our cat thinks is the dumbest creature on earth.

When she met Hank Elliot, a convict who claims he's innocent, she starts to wonder about justice but when murder comes into the ranch, things got confused and blurred again...
