Now, being nursed back to health by Reb in an isolated mountain cabin, he found himself coming alive with a powerful desire for her.

Johnston, Joan  Outlaw's Bride Dell 1993 Paperback Good Patricia "Patch" Kendrick arrives in Oak County, Tex., from Fort Benton, Mont., to claim Ethan Hawk, a man who jokingly promised to marry her eight years earlier when he was a 25-year-old running from the law and she was the precocious 12-year-old daughter of a man who befriended him.

Though he was eventually caught and jailed for murder, he has been stalked since his release by the father of a woman he allegedly raped.
