"Second book in the McKettrick Cowboys trilogy is pure delight."

One ranch - three sons. According to Angus McKettrick, only one will inherit and on one condition. The first son to marry and produce a grandchild will inherit the Triple M Ranch.

In HIGH COUNTRY BRIDE, the first in the McKettrick Cowboys trilogy, we met Rafe, now happily married to Emmaline. But the race is far from over. Kade and Jeb are not giving up easily. If a mail-order bride worked for Rafe, why not Kade. Soon the hotel is overrun with females vying for his attention, but his eyes seem to be on one feisty nun calling herself Sister Mandy.

There are many things that don't add up. As Kade takes over as temporary sheriff, his adventure begins. Who ever heard of a nun who shoots better than Annie Oakley, rides a horse better than any cowboy and is being followed by a man known to be an outlaw?

This story is a pure delight. Kade is a great hero, who loves his family desperately and will do anything to keep them safe. I was completely taken with the antics of Kade and Mandy. I laughed out loud in some places and had a warm heart in others. I look forward to Jeb's story. The McKettrick Cowboys is a great series - not to be missed.

Summary

All Mandy Sperring has ever wanted was to be a lady and live in a nice house. Instead she finds herself all alone in the little town of Indian Rock, disguised as a nun, and on the run from the brutal bounty hunter that killed her stepbrothers.

Kade McKettrick needs a wife. His older brother, Rafe, is married, but until he has a child, Kade knows that he still has a chance to inherit his father's ranch, the Triple M. Unfortunately; the only woman who really catches his eye is the pretty little nun staying in the hotel.
