Romance Historical

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. Ms. Miller brings us this fourth wonderful Stone Creek Western romance full of passion and promises. THE BRIDEGROOM is another winner. Don't miss it.

SUMMARY

Gideon Yarbro is known for stopping outlaws almost before they break the law, but now the undercover agent must stop a wedding—despite the bride’s resistance.

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.
