The Spirited Montana Bride (Brides of Montana)
A runaway suffragette. An unsuspecting rancher. Marriage was supposed to be simple… until her past comes knocking. Bridget O’Connor has spent years fighting for women’s rights, but when scandal erupts in Boston, she has no choice but to flee. Reinventing herself as a quiet schoolteacher, she answers a mail-order bride ad and heads to Montana, where no one will ask questions.
Her only goal is survival—until she actually *meets* her groom. Gideon McCormick needs a wife. Not for love, but to secure the future of his ranch and family legacy before everything slips away. The sharp-witted, headstrong woman who arrives is nothing like the demure bride he expected.
She challenges him at every turn, but the fire in her spirit sparks something deep in his soul. Bridget swore she would keep her past buried, but when an old enemy threatens to expose her darkest secrets, the truth could cost everything. Will Gideon stand by the woman who is fast stealing his heart, or will her secrets tear them apart? A sweeping historical western romance filled with passion, grit, and the kind of love worth fighting for.
