Third son and vicar Cameron Worthington never expected to be part of a shotgun wedding – and certainly not as the groom. But when he wakes up in a barn after a storm to find the farmer pointing a gun at him and demanding he marry a very frightened – and very pregnant – young woman, Cam does what any gentleman would and says “I do.” His bride, Caroline Allen, doesn’t know what to make of the handsome British parson, but she’s more than grateful to escape her father’s wrath, and her own shame at having been seduced, then deserted, by a local outlaw. The couple travel to her uncle’s ranch to wait out her pregnancy, where Cam becomes involved in local politics, and Caroline prepares to leave him as soon as the baby is born. But fate – and love – have other things in mind for the couple, who maybe, just maybe, belong together after all.
