All bets are on for Windy Meadows rancher Jenny O'Brien;
"Marry her and Win". The flea- sized Northwestern town is
placing bets on who can get Jenny to the altar after the
declaration she would never marry after being jilted at the
altar 6 years ago. Stranger Nick Chandler is at the Bets &
Burgers Café to see Jenny in her full fury over the betting.
Nick has his own reasons for being there from New York and
proceeds to tell everyone there that he intends to marry
Jenny within 5 weeks. Thus, a $10,000 bet occurs between
Jenny & Nick. The money will help Jenny to keep her ranch
and Nick's secret ulterior motives for winning will save his
neck as well. The once multi-millionaire and his sister
Billie are in cahoots to make this happen.
Jenny is mortified to learn her uncle Harry has hired
Nick as the ranch manager. Hiding his true motives, Nick
finds himself drawn to Jenny in ways that are making it
difficult to keep up his pretense. Jenny is having her own
troubles being in close proximity to Nick every day. Nick
begins to learn there are things more important in life than
money and his corporation, N.L.C. Throwing caution to the
wind, all bets are off for Nick as he does everything in his
power to help Jenny, who he has fallen completely in love
with. Even Jenny can't believe she hears the harps in the
wind across the lake that is dictated by the old family
legend that Nick is her true lifetime love.
Approaching their deadlines, it soon becomes apparent what
their priorities are and Nick intends to have Jenny at any
cost.
For a newbie author, Darlene Panzera writes like a pro.
She had me from page one and kept me through the entire
book. Her writing is creative, funny and tremendously
entertaining. BET YOU'LL MARRY is a different story from
any I have
previously read and a very refreshing read. I see a bright
future ahead for this very talented lady. I don't intend on
missing her future works.
When tall, handsome out-of-towner Nick Chandler first sets
eyes on Jenny O'Brien, she's storming into the Bets &
Burgers Café, wielding a broom and threatening the safety
of every man in sight. Hey, he figures, she's got the right
to be annoyed—the whole town seems to be laying bets on
whom Jenny will marry.
Nick's annoyed as well. He didn't think he'd have to
propose to romance the land away from her, but to save his
sister and his ill-fated business, he jumps into the fray
and bets $10,000 that Jenny will marry him.
Now the only thing stopping him from seizing her land . . .
may be his own heart.
