1889 – Oregon
A Bride. A Spy. And a dead man…
Millie Scott has lost everything, so becoming a mail-order bride seemed like a viable option. Yes, she’d have to marry a stranger, but it was the only way she knew to survive. But when Millie meets and marries her groom, she gets more than she bargained for. A lot more!
A spy for the president, Bram Henry’s next assignment is to arrest and then impersonate mild-mannered yet crooked bookkeeper Bill Krantz. But when the real Krantz meets with an untimely end, and his mail-order bride shows up earlier than expected, his plans of infiltrating a slaver’s operation get thrown out the window. Now he’s married to an unsuspecting mail-order bride who hasn’t a clue he’s not the real Bill Krantz. And wouldn’t you know, she’s not only pretty, but the sort of woman to make him want to quit his job and settle down. He just might. If he can keep them both alive long enough, that is.
