A skeptical miner
And a marriage plan gone awry
After eight long years of caring for her aging parents, Elizabeth Ann Pruitt is ready for something new. An ad for a mail-order bride from an itinerant preacher/missionary in the wilds of Washington Territory seems like just the answer. But when she arrives in Wild Rose Ridge, nothing goes as planned. Her groom-to-be is in a coma, and she’s back to the role of caregiver before she’s ever been a bride. Worse, her groom’s annoying older brother makes no secret of the fact he doesn''t think she belongs here.
As far as Solomon Rutledge is concerned, his brother sending off for a bride was about the stupidest thing he’s ever done. And he’s done plenty of stupid things. His brother’s new fiancée is beautiful and cultured and not at all suited to life in their one-room cabin in the woods. She needs to go back home to Connecticut on the next steamboat out.
But when a saloon girl from the north country arrives in town with a shocking revelation, he’s determined to get to the bottom of all the mystery surrounding his brother and his attackers. He sets off for the northern lumber camps and mines in search of answers, unaware that Elizabeth Ann is tagging along, determined to prove to him she can make it in his brother’s world or die trying.
