Their Marriage Bargain (Rejected Mail-Order Match - Book 5)

Lucas Palmer is the sheriff of Santa Rosa, Montana, a growing town surrounded by large cattle ranches and mining concerns. He's also a recently jilted groom, his intended shunning the cold winters of Montana in favor of the warmer western coastline. Determined to remain single rather than face another failure, he must delicately sidestep the young women looking to snag a husband.

When Julia arrives, it's attraction at first sight for both her and the handsome lawman. Yet, she's determined to settle in with her new job and new home before she even entertains being courted. Frustrated by the unwanted advances of the town's men, she's at her wits end when Lucas suggests they strike a bargain.

A pre-marriage, engagement bargain. While they're both immediately taken off the market, their ruse is anything but convenient with each passing day making them long for a real arrangement, rather than make believe.

Which one will crack first and admit their feelings? Or are they destined to suffer in companionable silence?
