The Bride Lottery

On a perilous journey west, a falsely accused beauty becomes an unhappy bride to a bounty hunter—but finds something special beneath his rough exterior . . .

There’s no room in James Fast Elk Blackburn’s dangerous life for a wife, but the gentle beauty on offer in the town’s bridal auction would make the perfect caregiver for his orphaned niece.

Once a Boston heiress, now alone and penniless, Miranda Fairfax is trying to reach her sister in the Arizona Territory. Boarding the wrong train, being arrested for a crime she didn’t commit, and winding up forcibly wed to a bounty hunter is not part of her plan! Yet Jamie’s rough exterior conceals a compassionate, sensual man, and Miranda soon wishes their marriage could be for real . . .
