The Bartered Bridegroom

As the leader of the St. Louis League of Liberated Ladies, divorced suffragette Carson Summers sets out for Virginia City, Montana to rescue a fellow sister from an unscrupulous bride-selling gang. Little does she dream that a journey across the rugged frontier with a ragtag wagon train will lead her into the arms of a man who breaks through her defenses; stirs desire...and makes her look at love in a whole new light.

Clint Bonner has done his time a cowboy stuntman and a wild animal trainer. But nothing prepares him for a trek across the western wilds with Miss Phoebe's Goodnight Girls, a couple of old circus hands, a cache of illicit goods -- and Miss Carson Rose Summers. A thorn in his side, she soon becomes the one woman he can't live without. That's when he knows that for all his wandering, he'll never be truly home until he wins a place in her heart...forever.
