Joshua Taylor

Joshua Taylor appears in Until Tomorrow.

At nineteen, Joshua Taylor thought he knew exactly what he wanted. Five years later, he has learned that wanting something and being willing to fight for it are two very different things.

Broad-shouldered and powerfully built, Josh has left the rangy youth Shannon remembers far behind. His golden curls darkened as he grew up to a dark brown, and the curls are a faint memory. His jaw has become strong and chiseled, and his gray eyes—flecked with darker gray—can turn cold enough to stop a man in his tracks. As a marshal, he carries himself with the quiet authority of someone accustomed to danger and responsibility.

Josh inherited more than his father's position. When his father was killed in an ambush while trying to stop a group of vigilantes, Josh was left carrying the weight of his father's badge—and the knowledge that one decision he made that day contributed to his father's death. He has never forgiven himself.

But beneath the hard edge is the same young man who once loved Shannon McKenzie enough to ask her to marry him. When she sends for him five years after disappearing, he doesn't hesitate. He rides through two stagecoaches, a train, and more than a little hell to reach her.

He arrives to discover Shannon has a daughter.

His daughter.

And suddenly the life Josh thought he understood becomes infinitely more complicated.

Because Joshua Taylor has never been afraid of a fight.

But protecting the woman he loves and the little girl he never knew existed may be the hardest battle of his life.
