Bride for the Innkeeper (Mail Order Brides of Christmas Mountain #1)
Jo Grafford
He’s a by-the-book kind of fellow. She’s a rule-breaker. Since opposites attract, sparks fly the moment they meet.
Edward Remington made a promise he plans to keep. He’s determined to restore his family’s rundown inn to its former glory — despite a rugged band of cowboy brothers attempting to jump a claim on the place and despite a Comanche dispute over land boundaries that needs settling.
To make matters worse, he doesn’t know the first thing about carpentry, and he quickly discovers he knows even less about the day-to-day management of the inn. When a new bridal agency opens shop next door, he sends off for a mail-order bride, anxious to provide the locals with a proper lady to serve as the inn’s hostess.
Maybe the agency misunderstood his application, or maybe they never bothered reading it in the first place, because they ultimately send Lacey Cleveland his way — a heart-stopping beauty in a threadbare dress, who has a reputation for stirring up trouble wherever she goes.
Welcome to Christmas Mountain, a white-capped paradise that entices a collection of wealthy gentlemen, gritty pioneers, and cowboy misfits to give everything they have to carve out a life and settle there — including their hearts!
