(Mass Market Paperback)
Dear Friends,
I thought it was nonsense when the palm reader told me and my sisters that we'd been born with a bad luck love line. I paid no mind to her claim that only the truest love could overcome the family curse. After all, I was a reformed McBride Menace it wouldn't do for me to believe in such foolishness!
Better I had listened.
Now our family faces its biggest crisis ever, and I've had to turn for help to the most notorious man in town. Luke Garrett was born to be a hero it's such a puzzle that he ended up an outlaw. Maybe I'm foolish to trust a mysterious, alluring gunslinger to protect me as I pursue this vital quest. I don't care that Luke has secrets I'm willing to take the risk. As I travel the badlands of Texas, I'll trust him to guard my person. It's up to me to protect my heart. If only Luke didn't appeal to the Menace in me . . .
Wish me good luck . . . I think I'll need it!

May 23, 2005: So happy the McBride Menaces are back! I've waited for these stories since The Bad Luck Wedding Dress. Geralyn Dawson gives readers a fun, romantic, laugh-out-loud adventure. I haven't enjoyed a book as much in a long time, and I highly recommend it. I fell in love with Luke Garrett the minute he stepped on the page in his Stetson and boots. It was easy to see why Mari McBride did, too. Ms. Dawson has once again, earned a place on this reader's keeper shelf.

However, Mari gets a clue that indicates Kat is still alive, and sets off to find the truth. With her is Kat's lover's brother. Luke fights with her at every turn, but she finds it stimulating. Once the mystery of what happened to Kat is solved, Mari might be willing to solve the mystery of love. ......................... Her Bodyguard is nothing new. Fans of this particular formula will find it an exceptionally pleasing book. Mari follows in the steps of Jo March as the unconventional sister who takes care of her siblings.
