A Texas Ranger who wants a wife, an heiress who needs a husband, and a marriage of convenience that sparks an accidental attraction in this sweetly suspenseful and squeaky-clean historical romance.

Despite a dangerous and demanding career, Texas Ranger Bolt Sanderson dreams of starting a family. But a man who spends most of his time on the road doesn’t exactly have a long list of marital prospects. He decides to cut a corner on his quest for happily-ever-after by firing off an application for a mail-order bride.

Scarlett Martinez must be married for an entire month before she can claim her inheritance, but a disastrous first social season has her spiraling toward spinsterhood. She runs across an advertisement for a mail-order bride and realizes she’s found the perfect loophole…until her cowboy lawman groom swaggers to the altar. Their unexpected attraction — and the danger that accompanies it — is a complication neither of them was counting on.

This book was previously part of the Border Brides Series and has since been rewritten and re-edited to be part of the BRIDES OF CEDAR FALLS — uplifting historical romance stories full of faith, hope, love, and cowboys!
