Lighthearted Historical Romance From a Rising Star
No one steps on Archer land. Not if they value their life. But when
Meredith Hayes overhears a lethal plot to burn the Archer brothers
off their ranch, a twelve-year-old debt compels her to take the
risk.
Fourteen years of constant vigilance hardens a man. Yet when Travis
Archer confronts a female trespasser with the same vivid blue eyes
as the courageous young girl he once aided, he can't bring himself
to send her away. And when an act of sacrifice leaves her injured
and her reputation in shreds, gratitude and guilt send him riding
to her rescue once again.
Four brothers. Four straws. One bride. Despite the fact that Travis
is no longer the gallant youth Meredith once dreamed about, she
determines to stand by his side against the enemy that threatens
them both. But will love ever be hers? Or will Travis always see
her merely as a short-straw bride?

"Humor, romance, history, interesting plot and great
characters--Short-Straw Bride has it all. A lovely Christian
romance." --Historical Novels Review
"If you want a hard-to-put-down, fast read, then
Short-Straw Bride is the next book you should read. Set in
the1880's in Texas, the characters are as real as any in life
today. There is loyalty, gentleness, humor, love, anger, greediness
and stubbornness yet this story is inspirational and fun to enjoy.
With the full flavor of the West and the oftentimes deceitful
actions of others, this heartwarming love story adds so much to the
rich, engaging plot" --Portland Book Reviews
