From USA Today Bestselling Author Beverly Jenkins comes a new
novel in a mesmerizing series set in the Old West, where an arranged
marriage becomes a grand passion . . .
What kind of mail-order bride greets her intended with a bullet instead
of a kiss? One like Regan Carmichael--an independent spirit equally at
home in denims and dresses. Shooting Dr. Colton Lee in the shoulder is
an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire plan to marry a
man she's never met is a mistake. Colton, who buried his heart along
with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his
daughter. Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze.
Regan's far from the docile bride Colton was expecting. Still, few women
would brave the wilds of Wyoming Territory for an uncertain future with
a widower and his child. The thought of having a bold, forthright woman
like Regan in his life--and in his arms--begins to inspire a new dream.
And despite his family's disapproval and an unseen enemy, he'll risk all
to make this match a real union of body and soul.
