Books like Born to love by Leigh Greenwood

(The Night Riders Series) Holt Price had come to Galveston in search of the woman he loved. After the pain, the heartbreak, and the terrible devastation of war, he was ready to settle down with the green-eyed beauty he’d pledged to marry. Instead, he found himself gazing into a pair of vulnerable brown eyes that made him long to heal the hurt inside, to bury himself in the softness of a girl who was not his to take. Felicity Moore’s mother had always told her she was born to be cherished. But first battles, then duty, then poverty had stolen her chances of happiness. At 26, she was beginning to wonder if she would have to settle for the next man who came along, or reconcile herself to living alone. So how could she turn away from the lover she’d been waiting for all her life? At least, after so many Mr. Wrongs, here was a husband she could honor, the other half of herself, the man she was born to love.
