A Bargain Bride

by Rebecca De Medeiros

Overview

In a time when the west was wild...and the men were wilder... There came a challenge in the small town of Liberty, Texas. The objective in mind: Marriage. Bets are placed, and a race to the altar begins. Rough and tough rancher Gabriel O'Malley had never met a challenge he could not handle... until now. Fed up with his grandson's brooding ways, "Pops" O'Malley takes matters into his own hands, and orders a mail order bride for him. Besides wanting the best for Gabriel, there was a little matter of a bet going around that the old man was determined to win. The only problem was, his stubborn grandson was digging his heels "spurs deep" in and holding onto his bachelorhood ruining all of his grandfather's well laid plans. Gabriel, furious at his grandfather's conniving ways, was determined to rid himself of his unwanted "bride". He was going to live his life on his own terms come hell or high water, and settling down was not something he planned to do. Even if he did lust after the woman who shows up on his doorstep. After the death of her parents, Melody Williams was left with nothing but her baby sister to raise and an eviction notice on her door. She thought that finding the advertisment for a mail order bride was her lucky break. That is, until she meets her groom. Statues are friendlier than this hombre. But Melody is also stubborn. No one is going to stop her from making a home for her sister, least of all the sexy, grumbling rancher she has come to marry. Sparks will fly, tempers will flare, kisses will be had and shoes will be thrown...As the battle of the sexes begins. Can love blossom? With the help of a bunch of wily old men, the town of Liberty is counting on it. But not everyone is hoping for a happily- ever -after for the couple. From the shadows, evil lurks waiting to strike the ranch. Will it all be destroyed before their new life together can even begin?

About the Author

Rebecca De Medeiros- Born and raised as a California girl, now transplanted into Iowa's blustery winters, dreams longingly of sandy beaches and palm trees. That is, when she has the time to dream between controlling the chaos known only as the De Medeiros household and plotting her next crazy scheme.

Thankfully, she is married to the most supportive, loving husband. He even believes her when she promises to be both a best seller and the next week's lottery winner. With two young children, two hyper puppies and a household chock full of laundry to fold- a supportive husband comes in handy when she forgets to defrost something for dinner because she is wrapped up in her work. He is the true inspiration to her romantic soul.

Rebecca takes great pride in coming from a long line of strong, determined women. She credits (blames) them for encouraging her to pick up her first pen and writing down what was on her mind. Unfortunately her first artistic endeavor was "I will not hit my brother, even if he did call me Bucky Beaver" one hundred times. She sincerely hopes her writing has improved since those days.
