"A city slicker needs a change and a Wyoming rancher needs a wife, can this be the perfect match?"
Jake Marshall has a problem. According to his grandmother's
will, he needs a wife and a baby within two years in order
to inherit his family's land. Unfortunately, he wasn't sure
he wanted to concede to the old witch's demands and now only
has a year left. And that's not all of his problems. The
ranch is barely making ends meet and is in pretty bad
shape. Plus the relationship between him and his son is
still onshaky ground. What Jake needs is a wife fast! Brianna Dawson is leaving Manhattan in order to change her
life. According to the doctors, it's time for her to slow
down or end up back in the hospital or worse an early grave.
What better way to slow down than by moving to Wyoming to
become Jake Marshall's wife. She remembers him from those
long ago summers on her uncle's ranch and the huge crush she
had on Jake. So when she saw his ad for a wife, Brianna
just had to accept the proposal. Everyone at the ranch is expecting Brianna to be a stuck-up
city dweller who will be looking to leave the ranch as soon
as she can. But everyone at the Rocking M gets a big
surprise though, when Brianna wants to put as much work into
helping save the ranch as the rest of them. Jake doesn't
have too many complaints either, for Brianna is a warm and
passionate lover. Things aren't as perfect as they seem and
sooner or later Jake and Brianna's world will be facing more
than one obstacle. Can their marriage of convenience be
able to handle it? Will they become closer as a couple or
will they end up losing everything? THE RANCHER'S BRIDE is a story that has many twists and
turns throughout. Not only do you have Jake with the need
for a wife and baby, but you have his son, Shell who wants
tomarry the woman he loves and is carrying his baby. Plus
Shell and Jake don't have a strong relationship to begin
with, so this story really pulls you into all the little
problems too. I couldn't put it down until I knew what was
going to happen with each of the characters. THE RANCHER'S
BRIDE is a book that is sure to entrance any romance lover.
