Books like Outlaw's Claim by Brenda Jackson

Diana Saxton, an ambitious archaeologist, ventures into Colorado’s mesa country to study the ancient Anasazi, where she encounters the rugged ranch hand Tennessee Blackthorn, and together they confront past pains and stirring desires.

Elizabeth is abducted by Johnnie Carre, Laird of Ravensby, to support his imprisoned brother, but their bond threatens his enemies and he must decide what comes first: revenge or release.

After prison, former gunslinger Hunter Mitchell seeks to claim the child he recently learns he fathered, but his reformed nature clashes with Annabeth Silks, the fierce aunt who will not let him win.

The story of how I, Julian Carter, and my precious two-year old son, Stephen, left Atlanta Georgia and found ourselves on a white sailboat, tossed about like a cork on a raging sea off of Australia's northern tip in 1963, is harrowing. But it pales in comparison to what happened deep in the jungle where I was taken as a slave by a savage tribe unknown to the world. Some places dwell in darkness so deep that even God seems to stay away. There, my mind was torn in two by the gods of the earth. There, one life ended so another could begin. Some will say I was a fool for making the choices I made. But they would have done the same. They, too, would have embraced death if they knew what I knew, and saw through my eyes. My name is Julian and this is my story. But more, it is the story of my son who was born to change the world. From deep in the impenetrable jungles where New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker was born and raised, comes OUTLAW, an epic adventure of two worlds that perhaps only he could write. Full of harrowing twists, sweeping violence, and wild love, Outlaw takes us beyond the skin of this world to another unseen. - Publisher.
