A sweet, historical Western romance in the Proxy Brides series.

If Darrell Dean wants to inherit half of the Silver Queen mine, he needs to marry. Though he doesn't even like the girl, he agrees to marry the local saloon owner's daughter. He doesn't expect the surprise that he receives when a woman interrupts the wedding.

If Willa VanDurring wants to escape the danger stalking her, she needs a new name and a place somewhere far away to go. At her guardian's urging, she agrees to marry Darrell Dean by proxy and then immediately leaves to join him in Colorado. She doesn't expect to interrupt his wedding when she arrives.

Can a man who didn't agree to marry the proxy bride and a woman pursued by murderers make a life together? What happens when the danger finds her? In a town with no law, how will she survive?

Love & Mystery

I enjoyed listening to this book. I like Marisa Masterson 's books and this audio version was no exception. I liked the narrator, Jenn Lee.

Cute

What a cute book. Well done! Truly enjoyed the story line. The narrator had a pleasant voice and did a great job.
Had a few twists and turns that I did not see coming! You will not be disappointed with this book.

Intrigue

This story is filled with questions just waiting for answers. Why did Willa need to be married immediately causing her to marry by proxy? What waited for her with her new unknown husband? Why were there all these unnerving circumstances that caused all sorts of problems for the new couple? These questions and more will be answered in this short story featuring Willa and Darrell.
The narrator read at a good pace with voice variations for each character.
If you are looking for innocent kiss or squeaky clean book, this is not for you. Although not explicit, there are several references to the marriage bed, and some lewd comments and actions. I would not recommend this book to someone under 14. If you like a good mystery and don’t mind a bit of shading to the story, this is a quick, engaging read.

Very good

This is a very well written book. I enjoyed the writing of Marisa Masterson because of the different things that happen in her books

Great story

This was just the read I needed: a sweet, loveable escape with just enough drama to keep me engaged. The characters are well developed, the story had good pacing, no lagging or rushing in the telling of the tale. Jenn Lee does a fantastic job narrating this book and bringing the characters to life. I really enjoyed listening to this book.
