Amanda Ashford has defied her wealthy Boston father, crossed half a continent, and saved a dime for each of the 519 days since she last saw her fiancé, Reverend Ebenezer Coolidge. In the German settlement of Grünlauf, Texas, she'll finally be useful as a minister's wife. But when she walks into the church, the violinist strikes up the wedding march, and Ebenezer is nowhere to be found. He was buried that morning. And the congregation has already chosen her a new groom.
Gunter Braunig was hired to fetch the reverend's bride from the train. Then the deputy ordered him to say nothing about the reverend's death-or watch his mother's boardinghouse burn. Gunter has already lost his wife and son to one fire he doesn't believe was an accident, and his little daughter, Greta, can't lose anyone else. So he holds his tongue for fifteen dusty miles and regrets it long before they reach town.
Amanda's father has seen to it that her dowry goes only to her husband, and only after thirty-two days of marriage. Stranded without the fare home, she fends off one fortune-hunting proposal after another while the evidence mounts that Ebenezer's death was no accident. Her only hope is the one man in town who hasn't proposed. Gunter refuses to live a lie-until an attack proves someone in Grünlauf will do anything for Amanda's money. A month as husband and wife should be simple. Keeping her alive, and letting her go when it's over, won't be.
A clean, heartwarming historical western romance of second chances, courage, and a love worth more than any fortune.
