She proposed to a stranger to save them both. She didn't expect him to be the one she couldn't walk away from.
Six months of letters from a Wyoming lawyer convinced Abigail Hennessy to sell everything she owned and board a train west. He wrote about the sky, the law, and the kind of partnership most men in 1871 can't imagine.
But the man who meets her at the door isn't him. Felix is dead — and Nate, his clerk, is the one left standing with nothing to offer but the truth.
Nate Reily doesn't want a wife. But the homestead needs claiming and Abigail needs a home. When she asks him to marry her, they both get what they need. No feelings. No promises. Just arithmetic.
But porch evenings stretch past dark. First names arrive uninvited. She catches herself watching his hands and looks away before he notices. He says her name in the dark without knowing he's said it. Something quiet and stubborn is taking root between them — tender enough to deny, real enough to terrify them both.
But when Wyoming's hard-won suffrage law comes under attack, Abigail refuses to stay silent — and a powerful judge turns their marriage into a weapon and the whole town pays the price.
Now the love they're only beginning to trust has to survive the one thing neither expected — a fight that could cost them the town, the homestead, and each other.
The Suffragist Bride — grit, passion, and love that arrives without permission.
Genre: Romance
