Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Cecily Lockhart has been sold once already, to a suitor of fifty with cold hands, by a father who called it a kindness.So she pawns her mother's pendants, takes the midnight train west, and offers a stranger eight hundred dollars to marry her in name only and carry her to Oregon. Josiah Rennick, a cavalry veteran with seven saber scars and a note due on his trading post, agrees. Together they draft eight clauses. No kiss except before witnesses. No touch without leave.Across sixteen hundred miles of prairie fire, flooded rivers and mountain snow, a hired man in a brown coat reports on her every move, a banker is counting the days, and Joss keeps one telegram from her. The longer the road, the harder the rules are to keep.When the note comes due, the bride who was bought must decide what she wants, and the husband who always asks must hear her answer.A slow-burn historical romance about a marriage of convenience, a bargain that outgrows its terms, and a woman who finally gets to choose.
