When a woman has to choose between death and marriage to a total stranger, she must be in a dire predicament….

It’s Washington Territory in the 1870s

Jolie McKibben is only twenty. She has never known a man or held a child of her own, and she doesn’t want to die. But the townspeople claim she is guilty of robbery and murder and about to pay by hanging for crimes she didn’t commit, salvation by marriage couldn’t come a moment too soon. Housekeeping for Daniel Beckham, a widower who invoked the town’s wedding ordinance to rescue Jolie from the gallows, is better than the alternative…but understanding the silent stranger who is now her husband might just about kill her.

Daniel doesn’t believe in Jolie’s innocence. And despite his willingness to marry the pretty, defiant “outlaw” on the spot, the prosperous farmer had little to say to her after “I do.” But for Jolie, their arrangement of convenience soon deepens into a rich and vibrant attraction that sets her trembling with desire in Daniel’s presence. Somehow, she would win his love, body and soul. Unless the desperados on her trail shatter the fragile, trusting bond of husband and wife….

Linda Lael Miller’s beloved novel of the American West shimmers with the unbridled passion of two adventurous hearts!

I have a warm spot for this little book. I did a favor for a friend years ago and sat in a model home for her. I did not have a book with me so I took one of the decorator books. I spend a pleasant afternoon with Daniel’s Bride.
