I loved it. Leigh Greenwood is wonderful
Marina Scott rides out on the range not knowing that the cowboy she meets is her destiny: her fianc's brother, Ward Dillon. Ward has come home for Ramon's wedding, and does not expect to fall in love at first sight. Though both he and Marina know it is wrong, they elope, positive their love will be all they need. How wrong they are.
When the newlyweds return, betrayal awaits. Ward, convinced of the lies his mother tells, leaves Marina and their unborn child to fight in the Civil War, unaware he has been duped.
Abandoned and scorned Marina finds a way to survive. Only years later when she locates Ward working on a ranch, does she understand the truth.
Marina arrives hoping to get Ward to agree to a divorce, but once he discovers they have a bright, wonderful son, he is not so sure he can set her free. Their old passion has never died.
As Ward and Marina try to work out their relationship a cholera epidemic strikes. With all their lives in danger Marina and Ward set aside their problems to help the community and uncover a love too powerful to destroy.

The freedom of the range, the bawling of the longhorns, the lonesome night watch beneath a vast, starry sky -- they got into a man's blood until he knew there was nothing better than the life of a cowboy...except the love of a good woman

2nd Book in "The Cowboys" series by Leigh Greenwood. Good, typical western. Great continuity with characters from the first book, allowing you to follow the tales into this one.
Ward's past comes back when his wife of one day, Marina, comes into his life asking for a divorce so she can marry again. Little did Ward know, Marina only plans to marry to give their son a true father.
