May I Kiss the Bride

Wyoming. A fresh start. An unexpected cowboy.

Viola Delany is not happy about being sent to the middle-of-nowhere, small town Wyoming. Yes, it will be good to let the gossips find something else to talk about other than her failed engagement. And yes, it will be nice to spend the summer with her Aunt Beth. But as Viola sits on the train heading for Wyoming, wondering how she’ll ever occupy her time in such a small town, none other than a real life cowboy sits across the way. She can’t help but take peeks at him, noting that the condition of his unpolished black boots and scuffed rawhide jacket seem to be authentic . . . All right, so he might be tall, dark-haired, and handsome if a woman doesn’t mind green eyes and a dangerous-looking scar, but this man certainly has nothing to do with her. Besides she’ll never see him again. What are the chances he’s traveling to the same middle-of-nowhere small town?
