From USA Today Bestselling Author Beverly Jenkins comes a new novel in a mesmerizing series set in the Old West, where an arranged marriage becomes a grand passion . . .

What kind of mail-order bride greets her intended with a bullet instead of a kiss? One like Regan Carmichael—an independent spirit equally at home in denims and dresses. Shooting Dr. Colton Lee in the shoulder is an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire plan to marry a man she’s never met is a mistake. Colton, who buried his heart along with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his daughter. Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze.

Regan’s far from the docile bride Colton was expecting. Still, few women would brave the wilds of Wyoming Territory for an uncertain future with a widower and his child. The thought of having a bold, forthright woman like Regan in his life—and in his arms—begins to inspire a new dream. And despite his family’s disapproval and an unseen enemy, he’ll risk all to make this match a real union of body and soul.

I don't really want to live in Wyoming in the late 1800s, but this book makes me want to live in Wyoming in the late 1800s. Love Beverly Jenkins and the worldbuilding here. Just a nice, low-conflict romance.

This was so good!! Probably a mix of historical fiction and historical romance this was in the middle of the two genres I'd say. I really enjoyed it. I LOVED Reagan and the whole town came to life so so well.

Really well written and a great read.

The baddies were very bad and the goodies were very good. At one point, I thought one of the book's antagonists was going to be given some complexity but that didn't happen. I still largely enjoyed the romance between the two main characters though.
