Forget-Me-Not Bride

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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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. . .
