Newly orphaned Bostonian Carolyn Randall is forced to register as a mail order bride when the bank takes her family house. When a Nevada war veteran and horse rancher responds to her advertisement, she packs her few belongings and heads out West, alone. She's terrified of the prospect of marrying a brusque stranger so far from her home, and can only hope things get better once she gets to Silver City. But Silver City is a lawless mining town, where safety and authority come from personal power and the barrel of a gun. And when Carolyn gets off the coach, no one is there to greet her. When Matt finally arrives, he walks out from the jailhouse with the marks of a beating on him, and offers no apology for his lateness. Who is this rough, cold-seeming man, and has she made a terrible mistake in accepting his proposal? Carolyn must adjust to life with this eccentric, secretive man. She does so with determination, her happiness with him growing as they work on building a life together. But Matt is carrying a dark secret with him, one which leaves Carolyn with many unanswered questions. Where does he go on those nights when he leaves her behind? Why do the troublemakers in town fear him so much? And why do they call him the Widowmaker? Read this book for FREE on Kindle Unlimited - Borrow Now!
