โฆ Synopsis
Sweet Historical Western RomanceAn Improper Proposal - First in the Front Range Brides collection of stories about strong women who find and defend love in 1880s Colorado. Love hadn't brought her to Colorado, but it might be the one thing that keeps her there. Mail order bride Mae Ann Remington won't let circumstances get in her way. When someone else's greed costs her everything--including her groom--she does the only thing she can in a new town with no money or friends. She asks a stranger to marry her. Cattleman Cade Parker stops at the bank to withdraw cash for his sister, not find himself a wife. But that's exactly what happens after a bank robbery leaves a farmer dead and his headstrong bride-to-be making a desperate business proposition. Convinced he's gone loco, Cade accepts the spirited young woman's offer, and they stop by the church before heading to the ranch, his horses, and the herd. He's soon adding to Mae Ann's fine cooking skills by teaching her to ride, shoot, and do what he tells her. She manages the first two fairly well, but gets her back up at the third. Cade struggles to keep his emotional distance from the stubborn gal whose gentle ways start drawing him in. But when a greedy neighbor challenges Mae Ann's inheritance of her former intended's run-down farm, Cade and Mae Ann drive to court at the county seat and into the jaws of a deadly storm. Not only must Cade fight to keep his new bride safe, he's got to keep his heart from stampeding out of control. Taking on snakes, scoundrels, and second chances is one thing, but falling in love wasn't part of the deal.
