A Bride in the Bargain
by
Deanne Gist.
The Wedding Is All Planned...
Someone Just Needs to Tell the Bride
In 1860s Seattle, redwoods were plentiful but women scarce. Yet a man with a wife could secure 640 acres of timberland for free.
Joe Denton doesn't have a wife, though. His died before she could follow him to Seattle and now the local judge is threatening to take away his claim. In desperation, he buys himself a Mercer bride--one of the eastern widows and orphans brought to the Territory by entrepreneur Asa Mercer.
Anna Ivey's journey west with Mercer is an escape from the aftermath of the Civil War. She signed on to become a cook--not a bride. When she's handed over to Denton, her stubborn refusal to wed jeopardizes his land. With only a few months before he loses all he holds dear, can he convince this provoking, but beguiling, easterner to become his lawfully wedded wife?

That sounds like a lovely summer time story, but I live in Canada so I'm sure you couldn't send me the book.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I have the book you recommended and it is very good, but I'm not enough of a planner to manage using it. Working hard on learning that skill, though! :) Maybe by the end of this summer I will have graduated to that level.
