She's a proper lady. He's the lawman least likely to succeed. Tossed into the same adventure, can they find everlasting love?
Arizona, 1885. Bernadette Reid longs to be cherished. Delighted to meet a handsome and courageous rancher, the mail-order bride wants nothing more than to marry, settle down, and raise a family. But after her intended ropes her into joining the pursuit of two outlaws, she ends up having to spend time with an inept deputy who has the audacity to think he's a rival for her affections.
Zeke Ritter tires of all the snickering he's endured his entire life. Determined to prove worthy of his badge, the young man joins the hunt for a pair of outlaws—only to be shocked at the beauty of a reluctant posse member. And when her rugged fiancé focuses more on wrangling bandits than her heart, he vows to help her find happiness even if it leaves him shattered.
Discovering Zeke's hidden charm, Bernadette struggles with the realization that her brother's matched her to the wrong husband. And though Zeke knows the woman he craves deserves someone who truly appreciates her, he refuses to steal another's fiancée.
Will they defeat their fears and find strength in each other?
