Lon Anderson wanted only two things in life: escape from the drudgery of farming, and marriage to a dainty little woman with adoring eyes. But his life turned upside down in Nevada Territory, the humbug capital of the world, when he found himself a farmhand for a tempting, no-nonsense female with lofty dreams and colossal cooking talent.

Still stinging from a disastrous marriage to a no-good swindler, Lindy Saxton was looking for a good man, an honest man and a tall man to top her own six feet. Lon Anderson seemed to be the right man for the job. The only catch was the Lon was gonna need a lot of convincing.
