The Proposition
by Kate Bridges

Sergeant-Major Travis Reid was coldhearted trouble...but for the sake of the child she'd lost, Jessica Haven was ready to travel with a man who hated the sight of her. Still, the trail-toughened Mountie was her last, best hope for justice—and maybe her one true chance for love!

Travis Reid had been ready to dismiss Jessica Haven, the mayor's spoiled daughter, as the flighty society miss he remembered, concerned only with her own comfort. But the determined young woman surprised him with her unexpected verve and sensuality. And their trek across the wilderness was fast becoming a journey of the heart!
