About the Book
Marty Dandridge Olson is a widow looking for a way out of Texas. Widower Jake Wythe has secured a job as a bank manager in Denver, only to discover that the bank board wants him to be a married man. With Texas in his roots, he advertises for a Lone Star bride, and Marty answers the call. They both agree they are done with romance and love and will make this nothing more than a marriage of convenience.
Marty works to carve out a new life in high-society Denver as Jake works to guide the bank through a collapsing economy. But when money goes missing at the bank and accounting discrepancies point to Jake, he must find a way to prove his innocence. Yet all he wants to do is go back to Texas and own his own ranch. Marty, on the other hand, owns a ranch–one she’s never told her husband about. She hates Texas because it represents the losses in her life. But as the couple grows closer and love begins to bloom, Marty realizes she needs to tell Jake the truth. Can she come to terms with the past and her anger toward God in order to make room for love?

 My Review
Tracie Peterson is a great story teller. She is understands characters and history and intertwines them in a captivating way. This is her hundredth novel! I enjoyed the setting as Colorado is my favorite place. I also found the bank perspective of the leading male to be interesting. I haven't read to many mail order type books that involve the husband being well to do in a city setting. This brought a unique aspet to the story line. Also, the first part of the book is entertaining as Marty takes on bandits while on the stage. This scene really makes the book what it is. The romance is witty and more like a friendship which was acutally refreshing. While predictable and a bit slow this book was still enjoyable! I rate four stars.
