The Mounties #3
The Third Daughter
She Was The Only Woman For Him
Steven Gravel takes his position with the Northwest Mounted Police very seriously. But a routine patrol of the territory beyond newly built Fort McLead reveals a surprising oversight--a sprawling cattle ranch! Owner Cletis Dawson, widowed father of three daughters, is eager to supply beef to the fort. But Steven soon wonders if business is the only thing on Dawson's mind, because at every chance, marriageable middle daughter Emily is thrust into his path. Yet it's not gentle Emily--or flirtatious, exasperating little Elizabeth--who draws Steven's eye, but the oldest girl, Willow. Stubborn, standoffish, and firmly focused on their business arrangement, Willow is hardly willing to be courted--unless Steven can unlock the secrets in her proud, wild heart.

I really liked this story, I have so far really loved the books in The Mounties series that Kathryn Fox wrote.
I have one more two to go and I can't wait if they are anything like what Ive read, I definitely recommend them.
The story is about a Mountie in the force that has been devastated by loss of his wife and child. Along the way he meets a beautiful woman with her own hangups about family and life and is determined to do everything she can to keep the constable from pursing her. This is a must read if you like sweet stories on overcoming not only fear of the present but also of what could be and may be.
