Spur-of-the-Moment Marriage

Wild West Weddings #5

by Cathy Gillen Thacker

A Whiplash Wedding

Montana millionaire Max Mckendrick had a hankering for arranging whirlwind romances for his heirs. As his attorney, Cisco Kidd had executed the old man's plans with the precision of a master matchmaker. But the cowboy counselor never expected to be a fifteen-minute fiancé in one of Max's grand plans!

Cisco's intended, Gillian Taylor, certainly was a prize. In no time her vulnerability activated his protective instincts, her sexy sass turned on his every desire...but her eyes held secrets. Secrets he'd spend their required honeymoon seducing out of her. Why was his anxious bride in such a hurry to say "I do"?

About the author

Dear Readers,

The love stories in my family have always been fodder for romance novels.

My maternal grandmother and grandfather simultaneously ran a business together and raised four daughters, long before it was an accepted thing to do.  Grandpa O’Dell ran the gas station and the barber shop; Grandma O’Dell managed the grocery and cooked for customers.  They were true partners and madly in love and parted, tragically, way too soon when he succumbed to cancer when he was in his early fifties.  Grandma grieved deeply but eventually picked herself up, started a new career as a cafeteria chef, and eventually found deep romantic love and happiness again, in the form of a second marriage.

[Phylisha Stone]

Two people who both had difficult early lives (homelessness and spousal abuse) come together when a millionaire rancher steps in and changes their lives and then adopts them as his own. Liked it.
