A BRIDE FOR DALTON
By: Caroline Clemmons
The Plot:
Rebecca wants a husband but not the man
her stepbrother-guardian insists she wed.
To escape his threats, she turns to a family
friend for help. Reverend McClain sug-
gests she enter a proxy marriage to his
only living relative, a nephew who ranches
in Montana. Until she arrives in Sweet
Springs, she has no idea the telegram with
instructions to her supposed groom has
not been delivered. Where does that leave
her?
Dalton is working with dangerous men to accomplish his
goal. The last thing he needs at this time is a wife in the way. He
is a gentleman and sees no other solution than to complete the
vows. How is he going to keep her out of harm‟s way while he
completes this job?
Rebecca and Dalton embark on married life in unusual cir-
cumstances. Can love blossom in tumultuous times?
An Excerpt
Back at the barn, he told her, “Wait where you are until I can
help you.”
She bristled. “I can get down by myself, Dalton.”
“I know you can but can you stand up when you do?” He
helped her dismount.
She wobbled and held on to him. “Oh, my, I see what you
mean. My legs don‟t want to support me.”
“Stand there a few seconds until your legs cooperate. In the
meantime, I‟ll take advantage of the situation.” He kissed her
several times and she responded with equal measure. His enthusi-
asm increased and he wondered if she‟d agree to cavorting on the
hay.
Bert‟s voice cut in, “Can‟t leave you two alone, can I? Leave
your horses to me and go on up to the house if you‟ve a mind for
that kind of thing.”
Dalton grabbed her hand and, laughing together, they ran
toward the house.
