#8 OF THE MONTANA MAVERICKS SAGA - ETHAN WALKER

Well, Ethan Walker, 43 survived his trial and now has a fight on his hands. The big, burly, unsocial rancher is determined to raise his niece, baby Darcy. Marilee Taylor, 32 was too young to die. She was delivered to Ethan, her brother, in the middle of a snow storm by Homer Gilmore, a prospector and hermit. Then Homer disappeared. Lori Bains, a certified nurse and mid-wife showed up to help get Marilee to the hospital and also bare witness to Marilee's desire that Ethan promise not to let her child fall into the clutches of her cruel in-laws. [Lori Bains story coming up Baby Wanted!] Now this is very interesting -- Kate Randall is a court Judge and wants to help Ethan keep his niece. Yet Ethan's temper gets him into trouble once again. People still believe he killed Charlie. Mary Jo Kincaid had followed Ethan's trial every day. She was certainly disappointed that Ethan got off. Noble Taylor was a snob and determined that no outlaw rancher was going to raise his granddaughter. Kate kept trying to bring about a reconciliation between the Taylors and Ethan. But something funny was going on. What was Kate's secret? Why did she want to marry Ethan? Was it for the baby or to help Ethan keep Darcy? Very intrigueing! Definitely Recommend -

The Judge and the Outlaw Marry for the Baby's Sake

Ethan Walker is a loner, a rugged individual who lives on his ranch outside of Whitehorn, Montana. He has one ranch hand, a man called John Mountain, no electricity and he's miles from his nearest neighbor and he likes it that way. Then on a snow filled, stormy night a prospector named Homer shows up at his door with his younger sister Marilee. Marilee had run her car off the road on her way to Ethan's. She is in labor. Marilee gives birth at Ethan's, then makes Ethan swear that if anything happens to her, that he'll raise the child. Ethan, worried about his sister as she's lost so much blood, promises her he'll do it as an emergency helicopter lands out front. Then, sadly, Marilee dies in the chopper on the way to the hospital. When he was younger, Ethan had been accused and arrested for murder, but he'd been acquitted. However in the minds of many in Whitehore he was guilty. So things look bad for Ethan when the baby's paternal grandparents decide to sue for custody. Then beautiful Judge Kate Randall has a solution. She'll marry Ethan, in name only of course, and that'll give him the respectability he needs, plus, with a wife, he's sure to win custody. However will he win custody of Kate's heart as well? And can Kate settle this loner down. "The Law is No Lady" was a nice romance that kept me up for the better part of a Friday evening. Helen Myers put a generous dose of humor (two rugged men dealing with a baby) and suspense (will the grandparents get custody, will the judge and the loner fall in love) in her book and topped it off with a keen writing style. Highly recommended.
