His Unexpected Companion Patti Sherry-Crews

Olivia Darling is her own woman--self-sufficient, intelligent, and wise to the ways of the world. She's also beautiful enough to rile other women and garner unwanted attention from men, which could bring more danger down on her than living the outlaw life she's taken to. Headed home to Colorado, she's ready to put her past behind her--but what kind of reception will she get?

Kit Traver is headed home to Colorado, giving up his law practice back East to return to the place he loves--and the woman he intends to marry. His life neatly planned, this journey will give him the time he needs to be alone with nature before he takes on the responsibilities of practicing law again and being a married man.

When Kit and Olivia meet in Denver, it's not the best first impression--for either of them. But, they are traveling the same trail, so it's only natural they ride along together. It's obvious to Kit that Olivia needs his protection--if only from herself!

But traveling together ignites a fire between them that can't be ignored, especially once they arrive, only to discover that everything has changed while they've been away. With her father mysteriously murdered, Olivia has her hands full trying to keep the big ranchers from pushing her off her family's small spread. Can Olivia and Kit make a home together? Will Kit walk away from his socialite family for the love of HIS UNEXPECTED COMPANION?
