description: Going on a husband hunt wasn't Courtney Marshall's idea of a good time, but the young widow wanted to give her two children a father, and figured that somewhere out there was a nice, reliable man who could fill the job. Then disturbingly handsome Luke Hamilton appeared at her door--and Courtney was astonished at her reaction! Wooing her with golden flowers, dazzling her with the delectable sweetness of his lips, Luke vowed to protect her from the wolves who preyed on unsuspecting women--before admitting he wanted her himself! But Courtney wondered, was it love she felt for this improper stranger?
