"I came here for peace," she replied. "You won't find it in me," he warned. "Maybe not," she whispered, "but I might find it with you." Margaret has spent most of her life running-from town to town, from her past, and from a father who never stopped hunting her. But after her mother dies, she's tired of fear and loneliness. "I came for a home," she tells the man at the ranch door, his unreadable eyes fixed on hers, "not more disappointment." John never asked for a wife, especially not one sent by his meddling children. "This was never my idea," he mutters, arms crossed. "Then send me back," she snaps. "But don't expect me to go quietly." Torn between guilt and duty, John reluctantly offers shelter to his uninvited, clear-eyed bride-and nothing more... But as she brings warmth into his grieving household, and he starts to smile again, secrets from the past stir to life. When danger comes riding into town, they must decide-will the pain that shaped them keep them apart, or finally draw them together? She came with nothing but a name and a promise to stay. He gave her silence, but watched her chase the shadows away. In a house built on sorrow, they lit a fragile spark- two weary hearts learning to love in the dark. ☆☆☆☆☆ Montana Bride by Mistake is a stand-alone Western Historical Romance book with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after. ► Tropes: Community, Marriage of Convenience, Opposites Attract Buy it now to discover Margaret's empowering and to ride into Old West passion today!
