Lydia Fairmont is about to enter into a bad marriage with a
heartless banker she does not love. However, if she doesn't
marry him, she'll lose everything and her dear aunts will
not have a home. In a moment of panic, Lydia mails the
letter she's held on to from her childhood friend and
protector, Gideon Yarbro, never dreaming, after so many
years, he would receive it.
But receive it he does, in the kick of time, and he rides
to her rescue. Gideon forms a plan and by the end of the
evening, he has kidnapped Lydia, carried her off to Stone
Creek and made her his reluctant bride. Lydia has to marry
someone...whether it's a love match or not.
Gideon, working as an undercover agent, has a job to do in
Stone Creek at the Copper Crown Mine. Even his brothers
don't know he's taken up a shovel to get inside the mine to
win the miner's trust and subvert plans they might have to
go on strike. It's a dangerous and risky job, but so is
being trailed by a vengeful ex-fiancée and a hired gun on
the loose. How did his life get so complicated all of a
sudden?
Lydia has loved Gideon for over a decade and hopes, with
all her heart, to make their marriage work. She's not sure
Gideon feels the same way. Because Gideon's job keeps him
on the move, he doesn't think it is fair to make Lydia
believe their marriage will be a lifetime commitment. He
will be moving on after the mining job is completed. But
then, tell that to his heart. Is there hope for two hearts
meant to be together?
Saddle up and take this wonderful adventure of the heart.

Gideon Yarbro is known for stopping outlaws almost before
they break the law, but now the undercover agent must stop

Lydia Fairmont will lose everything if she doesn’t honor
her betrothal to a heartless lawyer—unless, that is, she
can quickly marry someone else . . . love match or not.
Determined to honor an old promise to Lydia, Gideon carries
her off to Stone Creek and makes her his reluctant wife.
Forget the honeymoon—that’s not wise with a vengeful ex-
fiancé on their trail. Yet maybe, just maybe, there’s hope
for the marriage . . . and two hearts always meant to be as
one.
