Summer’s Spunk by Marie Higgins

Colorado has bandits, rattlers, and cactus galore… not to mention Jesse and Summer, the town’s newest and most hard-headed heroes.

Summer Bennett has been at her aunt’s etiquette school, and now she is ready to start a life as a mail-order bride. After answering the ad for a bride in her hometown, she is eager to get back to her roots and see her family again. But when her stagecoach is attacked and a handsome deputy comes to the rescue, she realizes the man is her childhood tormentor, Jesse Slade. With Jesse in her life again—and engaged to her sister—Summer is determined to stop the wedding while at the same time, planning her own special day. Perhaps tying Jesse to the outhouse might make things easier than having to deal with his desirous looks and warm touches.
