Lucas's Convenient Bride

Return to 1800's Defiance, Colorado, in this beguiling story of
finding love in the most unexpected places from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Susan Mallery

Lucas and Jackson MacIntyre stand to inherit the saloon, gold mine and
ranch that define the town of Defiance, Colorado. There's just one
problem: the uncle who has left them the properties created a clause
in his will stipulating that both brothers must marry if they want to
claim their inheritance.

Emily Smythe knew she'd likely never marry, and she's moved to
Colorado to prove her independence from her family. She has a shrewd
business sense, so when she approaches Lucas about turning the
saloon's vacant upper level into a hotel, he sees the logic in the
idea. Lucas has a proposition for Emily, too: become his wife in name
only so that he can claim his inheritance, and she can run her hotel
in his saloon. But though the marriage may be a business arrangement,
Lucas soon finds it difficult to resist his new wife…
