Book description
In the Alazkan Klondike, at the height of the gold-rush, respectable
women were thin on the ground and the San Franciscan based Peabody
Marriage Bureau did a roaring trade despatching mail-order brides to
women-starved stampeders. When half-Irish Lilli Stullen boarded the S.
S. Senator as a Peabody bride, she did so not because she was hungry for
a gold-rich husband but because it was the only way she could remove her
orphaned younger brother and sister from the clutches of their hated
uncle. To Lilli, the sacrifice of marrying a man she had never met was
small in comparison to ensuring Leo and Lottie's happiness - or it was
until she met 'Lucky' Jack Coolidge, a professional gambler with devilry
in his eyes - a man no woman had ever been able to hold. Lilli was
certain that when they arrived in the Klondike, Jack Coolidge would pay
off her husband-to-be and marry her himself. She had reckoned, however,
without the man who awaited her arrival. Ringan Cameron was a
hard-muscled, fiery-haired Scot with a mysterious past and Lilli,
despite her Irish temper and recklessness, soon discovered she had met
her match. . .
