It is 1882 and Maggie Cartwright has arrived in Arizona to
begin her next undercover case in her career as a Pinkerton
agent. Having grown up on the run with her father as an
outlaw, and eventually having to watch him hang for his
crimes, Maggie vowed to protect the innocent and has dedicated
her life to upholding the law. But this may be her most
challenging case yet.
Playing the role of Maggie Taylor, she
must pretend to be the mail order bride Garrett Thomas
has requested. Garrett is a suspect in a train robbery that
resulted in one man murdered, and a substantial amount of
money disappearing. She plays the homemaker and becomes a
mother to Garrett's two adorable children. Soon Maggie's
confused and torn, because the more time she spends with
Garrett the more she believes him to be innocent. With danger,
love, amusing family members, and a close community, there
could be many suspects. But when the missing money reappears
and everything points to Garrett, will Maggie be able to prove
the innocence of the man she loves? And when Garrett discovers
Maggie's true identity, will he ever be able to forgive her?
UNDERCOVER BRIDE by Margaret Brownley is an enjoyable tale of
love and adventure where two people unexpectedly lose their
hearts to each other. But with lies, guilt, and threats
surrounding them, there is the fear that they will never be
able to have a life together. With many obstacles thrown in
Maggie's path, I could not wait for her to unravel the
mystery. UNDERCOVER BRIDE by Margaret Brownley is a story
about family, love, lies and finding your future, and I highly
recommend it.
