Mattie and the Blacksmith

Single women weren't permitted to live in the charter town of McTavish Plain, in the Wyoming Territory. So the three Green sisters invented husbands! But Addie, Charlotte and Mattie never reckoned on the loves that awaited them in the wild, wild West.

SOMETIMES LOVE HAS A PLAN ALL ITS OWN

Mattie happily let her absent "husband" deter would-be suitors while she waited for true romance. Her beloved would court her properly -- and he most certainly would not be a man like Roamer Tresh. The brawny blacksmith clearly had little use for hearts and flowers and only wanted a mail order bride to help him raise his young nephew. Still, Mattie didn't mind when he asked her to help him compose courtly letters to his would-be wife...until unsettling glimpses into his secretly romantic heart made her wish that she was the one he'd marry.

Hero: Roamer Tresh
Heroine: Mattie Green
