Country bride

Luke Rivers was a man of his word

He'd agreed to marry Kate Logan -- but she knew it was only out of pity. Only because she'd been so devastated when Clay Franklin, the man she'd always loved, married someone else.

In fact, it was at Clay's wedding to Rorie Campbell that Kate had rashly, foolishly proposed to Luke Rivers, the Logan foreman-turned-rancher. Now Luke refused to renege on his promise. Worse, he told Kate she didn't love Clay, she loved HIM.

Yes, but just as a friend, an older brother, she told him. Luke disagreed, insisting that he knew Kate's mind better than she did herself!
