Cursed by tragedy, Logan Grey vows to live his life alone. But his willpower is tested by the alluring Caroline Kilpatrick. Caroline knows treasure waits within Black Shadow Canyon--and it's not Geronimo's Gold. Desperate, she makes Logan an offer he can't refuse--and together they battle outlaws, danger and desire....
But the ultimate battle is still to be fought. Now Caroline must risk it all to capture the love of a loner.
Once again Geralyn Dawson has given us a heartwarming tale related to her Bad Luck Bride series. I've been a long time fan of this series and The Loner is definitely going on my keeper shelf!
Lucky Logan Grey is definitely a loner and his version of lucky and what other people believe are often very different. Having been raised in an orphanage after his entire family was killed in a flash flood, Logan is more than wary of the thought of having a family of his own. Even though his good friends from the orphanage have gotten married and are enjoying their lives, Logan intends to live his own life and has no interest in settling down.
As a Range Detective Logan has tracked and caught and sometime killed, some the baddest of the bad. Sometimes called a killer with a badge, he was used to being on the move and leading life the way he wanted.
Caroline Kilpatrick and Logan are caught in a bank robbery together and as she helps him spoil the robber's plans, an instant attraction grows between them. But is it instant or have they known each other before? It seems that they were married 15 years ago and Logan doesn't even remember her!
Caroline needs help and she knows that Logan is the only one that can help her but will he do it? The father of her heart is missing and she needs help finding him but she doesn't think this will be motivation for Logan to help her so she tells him that his son is missing instead. Little did she know that her son Will had really been kidnapped.
Shocked by the news that they are indeed truly married and that he has a son that he knew nothing about. Logan agrees to help Caroline rescue their son from Black Shadow Canyon, a den of thieves and murders. But would they find the treasure allegedly hidden in the Canyon?
With a journey fraught with peril, can Logan and Caroline overcome the lies and the time apart? Can Logan overcome his life long fears and let himself love another? Their journey together is a definitely must read.

This was a great book. The characters were well developed and the plot kept you interested until the end. My only problem with the book is the renaming of some of the characters. In the author's previous series 'Bad Luck Brides', Maribeth McBride married Luke Garrett. In this book, they are Luke & Maribeth Prescott. I can't believe the author or editor let that slip.

She needs help to find him and an alleged hidden Bad Luck Treasure. She decides her best bet is mercenary range detective Logan 'Lucky' Grey so she heads to Austin to obtain the services of ¿The luckiest man in Texas¿, whom she married fifteen years ago.---------------- He believes his luck is all bad and so warns women to avoid him. However he is unaware that the one female he wants, Caroline is his legal wife. When they exchanged ¿I do¿, he thought it was a fake and forget about it as he moved on. He also is unaware until now that she gave birth to his son Will. When Logan learns the truth about his marital status he is dumbfounded but will do what it takes to insure his wife is safe Caroline is just as determined to persuade her beloved that he brings her all good luck. --------------- Following up the Bad Luck Brides with the first of the Good Luck Grooms, Geralyn Dawson provides an amusing western romance starring two fascinating protagonists. Caroline the Valkyrie starts things off right when she knocks out a dangerous outlaw the adventures keep on coming for her and THE LONER she loves. Throw in the McBride gang to add to the chaos and that leads to delightful spins inside this wonderful historical romance.---------------- Harriet Klausner
