Taking the place of a mail-order bride isn’t part of her plan—until she’s forced to continue the charade and become Sheriff Connor Langston’s housekeeper to stay out of jail. Pretending to be another woman is hard, but Katherine’s real challenge is resisting her growing attraction to the handsome lawman…
Falling in love is the last thing Connor needs, even if the rest of Fatal Bluff wants him to. His hands are full with a band of outlaws threatening the safety of his town, and a child to raise. But Kate has a way of getting under his skin and into little Jenny’s heart. Soon Connor can’t get the fiery beauty out of his head—along with his suspicion that Kate isn’t who she claims to be.
When Connor learns the truth about Kate, is there any way for this outlaw bride to become the sheriff’s wife?

He is rocked to the core by his growing attachment to Kate, but fights himself every step of the way.
This novel is more than just a simple romance; it is a journey to find family and a real sense of belonging. Endearing and sweet with a touch of spice for flavor The Outlaw Bride is one of the best historicals I’ve read in a while. There was only one hitch, some of the editing hiccups were a little too noticeable and become annoying.
Still, it’s clear Kelly Boyce has a lot to offer the world of the historical romance and I look forward to reading more of her works. It is rare that a historical is filled with this many memorable characters. She needs to host a workshop on character development so that others can benefit from her expertise.
