In the rough and rugged Montana Territory, the journey to true love is filled with unexpected twists--and sweet rewards--for daring frontier women who faithfully believe every heart has a home . . .
With the help of the Archer Matrimonial Company, Yancey Palmer has finally put Hale Adams, the man she's loved for ten years--sometimes not wisely or well--behind her. Yancey is so sure of her love for the man the agency matched her with, she readily promises a friend that she'll help Hale with his mayoral campaign without chasing him.
Hale has also engaged the services of the matrimonial agency. He's so pleased with one lady, he requests that she join him in Helena to commence a sixty-day courtship. But instead, the Archer ladies arrive in town to reveal the true identities of both Hale's and Yancey's matches: each other. Can they look past their misunderstandings and hurt to see that they are still a perfect match?

EXCERPT
(Yancey’s) natural enthusiasm that
someone of Hale’s caliber would agree to run (for mayor) vied with her
misgivings about his ability to campaign. The man hated crowds. “How on earth
did you manage that?”
“Told him he was the only man who
could defeat Harold Kendrick. Helena deserves better than that crook, and Hale
knows it.” Isaak shifted his weight from his left foot to his right. “Winning
is going to be an uphill battle for him, even with Uncle Jonas in his corner.”
“Hale’s not good with people.”
Isaak shook his head. “I disagree.
He’s great with people as long as there aren’t more than four or five of them
to deal with at a time.”
Yancey chuckled her agreement. “Do
you remember last year at the Independence Day picnic? He arrived at noon sharp,
stayed only long enough to eat and hear Mayor Kendrick speak, then took off the
moment the official festivities were over. He probably spoke to a grand total
of five people the whole time.”
Isaak gave her another of his
piercing glares. “No. I can’t say I follow Hale’s every movement with
such…enthusiasm.”
“It’s not like I was watching him the
entire time.” Just forty-five out of the sixty minutes. How embarrassing.
“I need you to promise me”—Isaak pointed his
index finger at her, then curled it into his fist, pulling his hand close to
his chest—“I’d like you to promise me
that you’ll continue to help with the campaign launch a week from tomorrow and
the July fourth barbecue—”
“—which I still think needs to
be…something grander.” She ducked her head so he wouldn’t see the heat climbing
into her cheeks. She’d entreated him to ask Zoe to cater a full-scale dinner,
but with the future between him and the French chef so uncertain, she didn’t
want to rub salt into his wounded heart by mentioning it again. “Kendrick does
a barbecue. Hale needs to set himself apart.”
“I don’t disagree.” Isaak spread his
hands, palms up. “But I have no more say in this campaign. You’ll need to talk
Hale into it.” He took a deep breath. “Can you promise me that you’ll continue
to help with the campaign without being enthusiastic
about working with Hale?”
Yancey placed her hands on her hips. “In
case you haven’t noticed, I’ve not chased after Hale Adams since last July.”
“But you did admit to me back in
March that you intended to break your engagement to Joseph Hendry because he
wasn’t Hale.” Isaak lowered his chin and raised his eyebrows. “And that no
other man has ever made you feel the way he does.”
Yes, but that was early in her
correspondence with Nathan. Soon after, their letters lengthened, deepened in
substance, and made her heart soar. Hale may have been the first to make her
feel like her feet left the ground at the mere mention of his name, but he was
no longer the only one.
How grateful she was that falling for
Nathan had gotten her over Hale.
Mostly.
But she was determined to transfer
every bit of her hopes and dreams to Nathan St. John as soon as possible. It
was difficult to fall hopelessly in love with a man without ever having met him
face-to-face, but it sounded like he might send for her soon so they could
begin the sixty-day courtship in Denver.
She hoped so. Oh, how she hoped so.
