Child Bride (Loveswept No. #541)

Child Bride recounts bounty hunter Chase Beaudine’s reunion with Annie Wells, a red-haired and cream-complexioned beauty from his past. When the two cross paths on the dusty steppes of Wyoming, “I’m your wife,” is not what Chase expects her to say by way of greeting. Though Chase has no recollection of Annie and their alleged marriage, her story contains undeniable truths. When she collapses from heatstroke, he has no choice but to bring her back to his cabin. As Annie lies unconscious, Chase can’t deny his swiftly mounting desire, watching her pillowy breasts undulate in rhythm with her shortened breaths. Despite her innocence and inexperience, Annie is determined to jog his memory—no matter what it takes.
