For twelve years Delia Kearney has nursed the sick in a Nashville hospital, and she is good at it. Now the hospital is closing, the war that made her is ten years behind her, and she has nowhere to go and no one waiting. She is thirty-one, and the only offer she has comes from a matrimonial agency in Wyoming Territory.
Nate Calder raises horses on Sorrel Creek. Since May he has also been raising his late brother's three children, a thirteen-year-old girl who runs the house on pride, a mute eight-year-old who notches a stick every day, and a baby who has stopped asking for her mother. He cannot pay a wage. He can offer a roof, his name, and a room with a latch that only she can lift.
Delia arrives expecting to nurse, and finds children who need something she has never been asked to give. Then a neighboring rancher begins counting Nate's horses, an army contract with a deadline brings the first real danger, and a winter storm tests whether a marriage in name only can become something worth keeping.
Delia and the Horseman is a slow-burn western romance about a capable heroine, a tired rancher, an instant family, and a love that grows in the spaces between chores. It is book six, and the last, of the standalone Juniper Ridge Mail-Order Brides series.
