Long, Tall Texans: Connal

Penelope Mathews had spent her entire adolescence worshipping the elusive C. C. Tremayne–from afar. Until one night, trying to protect the mysterious loner from landing in a Mexican jail after he had drunk a little too much, Pepi was forced to seek refuge in a wedding chapel–and wound up going one step further by emerging as Mrs. Connal Cade Tremayne! When C.C. realized what had happened, he was outraged–the last thing he needed was a shy virgin on his hands. The marriage was off; he'd see to an annulment immediately. Yet the more time he spent with Pepi, the more he realized he didn't want a divorce… he wanted forever.
