Vivien Fitzhugh gave up her Pinkerton badge to track her best friend's murderer. His last known location is Eureka City, Nevada. Ninety-nine percent of the population are either men or married to one. As she is far too feminine to pass for a man, she needs a husband. Pronto. Answering the mail-order bride ad for the marshal may just be the solution to her problem.

Marshal Reese Kelly wants to fit in with the town fathers. At least that's the excuse he gives for ordering himself a mail-order bride. What he really wants is what his parents had; children and a happy home. Though he doesn't hold much hope for a love match.

Vivien and Reese come together, each with their own agendas.

Will capturing Vivien's heart be enough to convince her they both deserve a chance at happily ever after?
