Book excerpt: Scarlett Buck has always been flaky in comparison to her sensible twin sister Tara, so nobody is really surprised when Scarlett spends all her money on a one way ticket to Australia to be with the man she's met on the Net. But she hasn't reckoned on the guy already being married, or her mom getting sick, and now she needs money for a flight home to Marietta, MT--quick. Signing on with Bella's Belles in Kalgoorlie isn't be the proudest moment in her life but it will get her home fast. After all, it's just sex. Or is it? Mitch Bannister's ex is about to marry his best friend, and he could really do with a cold beer and a hot woman. But the cowgirl he takes a shine to at Bella's is surprisingly skittish, and in the end he leaves without hooking up. Later, when Mitch spies the cowgirl in the local pub begging for a job, he shrinks into the shadows--he's not looking for complications, and something tells him that Scarlett Buck is a whole handful of them. But soon it's clear she's not just trouble, she's in trouble, and like it or not, he's not about to turn his back on this stray from the States. Especially if she can do him a favor in return. After all, it's just a helping hand. Or is it?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He's a cowboy turned security specialist, haunted by the past. Ten years ago, Calvin Beckett left Sabrina Holloway at the altar, disappearing without explanation. Blackmailed by his father to abandon Sabrina or see her family ruined, Cal chose to protect her. Walking away from both the love of his life, his family business, and the only safe home he’s ever known- the family’s sprawling Wyoming ranch, Cal built a new life as a security specialist in the city. But when his father's ruthless efforts to reclaim him intensify, fate throws Sabrina back into his path. As threats escalate, a long-buried secret involving Sabrina's parents comes to light, and Cal realizes their separation was about more than just his father's control. Now, Cal must return to his roots, bringing Sabrina to the family ranch to keep her safe—even if it means risking his heart all over again. She's a small-town matchmaker who can't find her own happy ending. Professional matchmaker Sabrina Holloway lives by the motto: if you can't marry, matchmake. After Cal's betrayal, she poured herself into building a career that brings joy to others in their close-knit community. Heartbreak struck again when her father's death left her truly alone in the town she loves. When hired to improve a grumpy security CEO's image and potentially find him the perfect partner, Sabrina is shocked to discover her client is none other than Cal. Suddenly, she's swept back to the ranch she once thought would be her home, forced to confront dangers she never imagined and feelings she thought long buried. Forced to partner up, Cal and Sabrina craft a fake relationship to outsmart their enemy. As they face their past and an uncertain future, these two lonely souls rediscover their connection to the land, the community, and each other. Working together they realize that the key to defeating their foe might just be embracing the love they left behind. But can they overcome a decade of hurt and the looming threat to both their lives to find their happily ever after under the big Wyoming sky?

Book excerpt: It’s for the ranch. It’s your duty. A man does his duty, always. His father Sam’s words were carved into Cole McCullough’s brain. His responsibilities lay with Rafter M Arrow, which had been in their family for over a hundred years. Even though they were fighting a losing battle to keep the place going. The ranch always came first, over personal comfort, sometimes reason and definitely women. Sam had seen both his wives walk away, dismissing them as hot-house city girls who couldn’t survive the wilds of rural Montana. So how had Cole ended up making a spur-of-the-moment marriage last year in Reno to TV director Nell, who was as city as they came? Nell was prepared to give it all up to be with Cole. But he knew how it would end: as it had always ended before. It was time to stop living a pipe dream and sue for divorce. But then Nell came back to Marietta with The Compatibility Game, a reality program, in which couples discovered what they were willing to do for love by living and working at Rafter M, and Cole found himself taking part too…

Book excerpt: There have always been mail-order brides in America—but we haven’t always thought about them in the same ways. In Buying a Bride, Marcia A. Zug starts with the so-called “Tobacco Wives” of the Jamestown colony and moves all the way forward to today’s modern same-sex mail-order grooms to explore the advantages and disadvantages of mail-order marriage. It’s a history of deception, physical abuse, and failed unions. It’s also the story of how mail-order marriage can offer women surprising and empowering opportunities. Drawing on a forgotten trove of colorful mail-order marriage court cases, Zug explores the many troubling legal issues that arise in mail-order marriage: domestic abuse and murder, breach of contract, fraud (especially relating to immigration), and human trafficking and prostitution. She tells the story of how mail-order marriage lost the benign reputation it enjoyed in the Civil War era to become more and more reviled over time, and she argues compellingly that it does not entirely deserve its current reputation. While it is a common misperception that women turn to mail-order marriage as a desperate last resort, most mail-order brides are enticed rather than coerced. Since the first mail-order brides arrived on American shores in 1619, mail-order marriage has enabled women to improve both their marital prospects and their legal, political, and social freedoms. Buying A Bride uncovers this history and shows us how mail-order marriage empowers women and should be protected and even encouraged.
