The Sheriff's Stubborn Secretive Bride (Montana Westward Brides, Book 4 )

Women must earn their own keep in this small Western town. But his choice for a wife has grand expectations...

Sheriff Josh Ryder longs for someone to come home to every night. But the lawman’s recent notoriety attracts so many replies to his mail-order bride ad that he has no idea if it’s him or his name they’re after. But he can’t tear his eyes away from the photo of a stunning Georgia beauty.

Debutante Emily Middleton’s dreams lie in the rubble of her father’s bankruptcy. Now penniless, the young Atlanta socialite turns her attention to the West, hoping to secure a man who can live up to her standards. And when she flees her family to meet the rugged Montana lawdog, she’s certain her ambition will soon be back on track.

Though the sheriff’s immediately drawn to the feisty woman, he balks at her demands for a lifestyle beyond his means. And as Emily finds the handsome Josh simultaneously obstinate and dashing, she worries her fresh start could shortly turn sour.

Can the fiery couple fan their sparks into a sizzling sprint to the altar?
