✦ Synopsis

He's just a guy who's tired of all the corruption. The machine wants to take him down, once and for all...starting with blaming his future wife for murder.

In this sequel to The Mountain Man's Dog, rustic forester Lehigh Carter fights to clear first his own name, then that of his fiancée, Stacy McBride, as they are accused of murdering the deputy who once made their lives miserable.

The murder of popular acting Sheriff Jared Barkley in Clarkesville, a small town in Oregon's Cascade Mountains, put Lehigh and Stacy's plans to marry on hold when Stacy is arrested for committing the crime. On the advice of her lawyer, Stacy cuts off ties to Lehigh, who remains a subject of the investigation by the crooked cops and politicians running Mt. Hood County.

Lehigh conducts his own investigation into the murder and discovers a series of clandestine meetings between Jared and Stacy leading up to his death-meetings that look a lot like an ongoing secret love affair, rekindled from their youth. Lehigh's doubts about Stacy's innocence multiply when she reconnects with her ex-fiancé, attorney Paul van Paten, a leading member of the conspiracy against Lehigh.

Rejecting the advice of his lawyer, Lehigh plays a high-stakes game of legal chicken to infiltrate the conspiracy and discover the truth behind Jared Barkley's murder, putting himself in greater danger than he ever imagined.

The Mountain Man's Bride, book two of The Mountain Man Mysteries, combines the adventure and grit of a thriller, the suspense of a mystery, the sweetness of a romance, and the humor of a dog cozy to delight and enchant all readers who enjoy a well-written story.
