Hullabaloos Trapped & Loved
(2025)(A book in the Western Whirlwinds series)
A novel by Lynn A Coleman
Frustrated by what everyone says she should or should not do, Harriet Harrigan flips when her father sets up a marriage for her with a man twice her age, because she rode her horse down a main street wearing pants. Harriet decides there is only one thing left to do: run away and escape her life, her father’s ridiculous demands, and takes a train West, dressed in men’s clothing.
Charles Riggs is finally returning home to Missouri after spending three and a half years in Boston at Harvard for his education. While the train stops in Chicago, a problem with one of the cars forces the railroad to combine folks with private rooms, until they reach Kansas City and Grand Central Station. He finds himself partnered with a young boy heading West. Only Harry Harrigan is actually Harriet Harrigan. Once the blooper is realized, Charles discovers there is another problem while reading the Boston Globe. The article reads that Harriet Harrigan has been forcefully taken from her home, and the authorities are seeking to find the man who kidnapped her.
Harriet can’t believe her father has asked the authorities to investigate, since she had left him a detailed letter explaining why she wouldn’t marry his chosen husband and why she was leaving to become a teacher —a respectable occupation for a single woman. To avoid having Charles arrested, Harriet agrees to an entrapment marriage, albeit for a short period, with the understanding that the marriage will be annulled as soon as she knows Charles won’t be arrested for her kidnapping.
Charles falls for the feisty redhead with a spirit that can’t be tamed and agrees to the marriage, praying that one day, Harriet might actually fall in love with him.
Can they actually build a marriage on such strange circumstances? Will they escape the arrest warrant that is issued for Charles? And what’s the real reason behind her father’s insistence on marrying a man twice her age? Will love grow through the Hullabaloo and Entrapment?
Genre: Inspirational
