In 1884 unwed women have few options, even less so for orphans like Emily McCarthy who at eighteen is informed she will be married to a wealthy rancher per his recent advertisement. With no family, employment prospects or means to support herself, Emily resolves to do her best to become a good wife to Bart Axel. Being abducted by a tall, dark, ruggedly handsome yet completely infuriating cowboy is the last thing Emily expects upon her arrival in Billings, Montana. Even more distressing is the discovery that her betrothed is an ill-natured, wife beating, murderer old enough to be her grandfather.
Luke Sullivan, orphan and former vigilante, seeks to clear his fathers name and prove that Bart Axel conned his family out of their land and home. The last thing he expected to do is rescue a quick-tempered young woman on her way to marry the very man he endeavors to destroy. Even less expected is his growing attraction to the exasperating woman.
The Vigilante’s Bride is a fast-paced thrill ride from start to finish. Harris brings the old west to life in this absorbing tale of life, love and trust in the one true God who’s plan for our lives is much greater than the plans we envision for ourselves.
I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
