A Chance for Marian (Last Chance Brides, #26)

Can this sheriff's deputy convince a schoolteacher that love is enough?

When the town of Last Chance agrees to let Marian Scott open a school, she can't wait to begin. Marian has always wanted to be a schoolteacher, and with her family just barely surviving, the small income she'll receive will help.

Lured by the promise of the slowly revitalizing town, Cole Robertson is looking for a new start. What he didn't expect was to rescue the town's pretty new schoolteacher from a drifter with bad intentions. Nor did he imagine he'd find himself serving as a sheriff's deputy.

Marian can't let herself fall for Cole—not if she wants to continue to teach school. And Cole has been responsible for more than one broken heart. It's hard to trust himself enough not to add Marian to that list.

But with danger threatening the new school, Marian and Cole find themselves spending more time together. Even if Cole can let down his guard long enough to allow Marian into his heart, will she have him if it means giving up her dream?

A Chance for Marian is a sweet and clean Western historical romance. It's part of the multi-author Last Chance Brides series and can be enjoyed as part of the series or as a standalone.
