he Sheriff’s Fugitive Bride Phoebe Reed made the mistake of going into town. Maybe that wasn’t the mistake. Maybe it was staying in town after dark. Or maybe it was running into the saloon girl.

Rance takes his job as the town’s law seriously. He managed the lawlessness with a sensible head and a no-nonsense manner. He knows this woman’s lying to him. He just can’t peg why. He also knows she’s not a saloon girl. Why won’t she tell him her name? Why won’t she confess to stealing the wallet? He’s got a mystery to solve but darned if his heart doesn’t get in the way of his head when it comes to the mysterious unnamed woman. An Undercover Detective’s Bride Rachel Reed left Baltimore with a secret that none of her sisters are aware of. A secret so sinister she fears that drastic means need to be taken to protect herself and the ones she loves.

Who says the second time will be a success? He steps into the saloon for a couple of shots of cure-all and instead discovers a saloon girl that’s more like a fiery temple virgin. She refuses all the men’s efforts at flirtation and offers to go upstairs for a tryst. This woman’s got upper crust class and a shrew’s temper. Maybe he shouldn’t have tried to help her. Maybe he wouldn’t have been kicked out of the saloon and she wouldn’t have been fired. Now she’s his responsibility. This new turn of events is giving his ideas. Why can’t he get the words fake wife out of his mind? A Rancher’s Surprise Mail Order Bride Rancher Ryan Belton’s looking forward to his sister’s nuptials.

When he finds her walking into the saloon, he realizes she will be a fallen woman and it’s all his fault. How can he convince this hardheaded proud woman that she doesn’t belong in a saloon? A Foreman’s Unplanned Bride Foreman Lewis Sutton’s been like a son to Richard Reed. Except he’s not his son. So when Richard dies and Lewis has to contact his estranged daughters to come claim the ranch that Lewis loves, he’s left with a bitter taste in his mouth.

Molly Reed’s got a good life in Baltimore. She’s just taken a position that she’s been pursuing for what seems like forever. A journalist spot. She’s been trying to get that job for so long, and she’s written her heart out to get it. Now she has to leave?
