Prairie Song
A desperate bargain
Running for her life, Kate Chandler flees to Oklahoma with a price on her head, hoping to stake a claim in the Great Land Run of 1889. But with no money, no protection, no food--and an unborn baby to think about--she is desperate enough to accept a devil's bargain from notorious bounty hunter Cole Youngblood. Ruggedly handsome, he'll stake her claim if she'll be a mother to his sister's three orphaned children--unaware of Kate's dangerous secret: she is the quarry he's been hired to find.
A dangerous love
Cole knows Kate is running from something terrible; the fear in her eyes is clear as day. But that doesn't change his plan to marry her, make the Land Run, then leave Kate and the children behind--safe away from the hard life he's chosen. He didn't expect the wild emotions that would sear his hardened heart and make him yearn for a life beyond the grim realities of living by his gun. But as passion exposes the deadly secrets that shadow them both, he knows their only hope for a future together is to forge a love stronger than the danger trying to tear them apart.

This book had so much potential until the end.
TRIGGER WARNING : miscarriage. I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS. Not at the end of the book. I do not read romances for realism. I read them for happily ever afters. Had it happened much earlier, I wouldn’t have been this upset. It felt like a cheap shot after Kate spent the whole book trying to protect her child.
Yet another book I thought would be a keeper got thrown across the room. NOT COOL.

Received as a prize, I was a bit wary about this as I've not always been convinced by western historicals... but this was better than some of the others I've read. Interesting to read about the land run which I'd quite forgotten about...
