About this ebook

After eight days in a cramped stagecoach, divorcée Marigold Davis already regrets her decision to come to Denver City to marry. She certainly didn’t realize she’d signed up for mosquitoes, mud, and scores of rough men eyeing her like a hot meal on a cold day. But with her life in Kansas all but incinerated, Marigold needs a husband. Even if she’s not the bride that gold prospector Virgil Gardner is expecting...

Virgil Gardner has a reputation as a grumpy hard-ass, and he’s fine with it. He’s also no fool—this is not the woman he agreed to marry. It takes a tough-as-nails woman to survive the harshness of a Rocky Mountain gold claim, and this whiskey-eyed, gentle beauty is certainly not the type. Now it’s just a matter of how quickly she’ll quit so he can find a wife who will stick. Someone who can care for the only thing he values even more than gold: his children.

But Marigold isn’t about to give in. She’ll survive living in a cramped one-room shack, bears who show up while she’s berry picking, and cooking for an entire crew whose stomachs are bottomless pits. She’s got more grit than most. And just when Virgil starts to realize his replacement bride might be the treasure he’s been looking for, an unannounced guest arrives...to change everything.

Ratings and reviews

Really enjoyed this action packed and emotionally thrilling adventure filled with exciting and engaging charters, witty dialog and heart racing twists with emotional turns. Great reading from beginning to end and so hard to put down.

Such a delightfully great story full of funny scenes, tense scenes, and touching scenes. The character of Marigold is smart and a spitfire. Virgil may seem sullen and cranky but it is a mask to keep things steady at his mining camp. They play off each other creating a refreshing historical take on love. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Oh I thoroughly enjoyed this book......I didn't want it to end! I adored Virgil and Marigold. Their chemistry was amazing. The way the author brought them to life had me glued to the pages. She has a way with words and I loved the way she described each of their feelings as their story unfolded. The children were little darlings and just added to the charm of this book. I really, really want more of the same........
