      An Unexpected Partnership

      Arriving in Texas, cowboy Jared Ivy discovers the grandfather he hardly remembers has passed away...and an unknown woman has claimed ownership of his family’s newspaper. Jared has the will that proves he’s the owner—but the sheriff refuses to enforce it. Instead, Jared must work with Mary Lou Ellison until a judge comes to town and rules in favor of the rightful heir.

      Intrepid reporter Mary Lou has already lost her father figure. And she won’t lose the Pine Haven Record—the legacy he left her—without a fight. But when she and Jared stop sparring long enough to investigate a story together, they become a force to be reckoned with. Will they let their battle over the Record get in the way of something even more newsworthy: true love?

      “I reckon the two of you will have to run the paper together until the judge comes to town.”

      “Run it together?” Mary Lou’s protest was incredulous.

      “I have no intention of sharing my inheritance with a perfect stranger.” Jared wouldn’t give up the last claim he had to a family connection.

      “It’s not your inheritance.” Mary Lou took a step toward him. “It’s mine. You may be blood kin, but

      I was the only family Jacob Ivy had for the last eight years.”

      The sheriff opened the door. “The two of you can argue all you want. I won’t dispossess either of you. The judge should be through town between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Learn to work together until then.”

      “He can’t stay here!” Mary Lou was indignant.

      “Sheriff, you have the authority to evict her.” Jared made another attempt to settle the matter today.

      “I do, but I won’t be the one to throw an orphaned girl into the street without the judge’s say-so.” He tipped his hat to Mary Lou. “Good day to you both.”

      And he was gone.

      ANGEL MOORE fell in love with romance in elementary school when she read the story of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. Who doesn’t want to escape to a happily-ever-after world?
