Perfect for you if...

You love historical westerns with real chemistry between protagonists who've got reasons not to trust each other.
You appreciate a heroine with backbone who won't settle for less than genuine respect, even when circumstances force her hand.
You want a second-chance romance with stakes that matter: one character's reputation on the line, the other's freedom and fortune at risk.

Maybe not for you if...

You expect your heroines to be entirely self-sufficient without help from men, as Iris's situation requires her to depend on Jesse.
You prefer slow-burn romance where attraction builds gradually rather than reignites from a shared past.
You're after dark or morally grey characters: Jesse's anger issues and past as a rogue are presented as flaws to overcome, not celebrated traits.

About this book

A wealthy heiress fleeing an arranged marriage encounters the newly appointed deputy of Christmas Mountain when he stops her carriage. Jesse Hawling, a former poor cowboy, is working to overcome his reputation for a quick temper and trigger finger in order to earn the trust of the townspeople. Iris Hildebrand has always complied with her family's demands until her cruel guardian forces her into an unwanted marriage. When she refuses, she is sent to a remote asylum out west and loses access to her family's fortune. During a highway holdup, Iris finds herself in the hands of a cocky cowboy she knew from her past—now wearing a deputy's badge. She experiences an unexpected attraction to him, though she resolves not to trust him with her heart, even as circumstances force her to trust him with her safety. This is the second book in the Mail Order Brides of Christmas Mountain trilogy.
