  "Vibrant characters and an emotional plot make McKenna's Bride a handful! This is a romance that faces all the challenges of the old west with both barrels loaded! McKenna's Bride simmers to a boiling point."—Literary Times
  

  A searing tale of passion as young lovers struggle in the fierce frontier to find their way back to each other after years of separation, infidelity and betrayal.
  
The man who greets Caitlin at the Missouri train depot is a complete stranger—tall, lanky, suntanned—bearing no resemblance to the lad she grew up with, who married her and took her to his bed for a night of passion on the eve of his departure for America. Both of their families were dead-set against the match and sorely made her pay for it too. Now she learns the shock that Shane, her childhood sweetheart, has a dark past. When he presents her with a son by another woman, he even expects her to raise the child as her own. HER DESIRE, HIS BETRAYAL But Caitlin has a few surprises of her own in store for Shane, things he will find hard to forgive. In the hard, hot frontier, husband and wife return to each other with a passion still burning hard and deep. But Shane and Caitlin are not the same two people who once fell in love…and Missouri is a far place from Ireland.
