Herd the Heavens (Border Brides Book 11): A Sweet, Mail-Order Bride Romance

An impoverished debutante who signs a mail-order bride contract to avoid financial ruin and the rugged cowboy determined to save her from such a disastrous decision…

Bertha Langston (who prefers to be called Bert) is far more interested in tinkering with her inventions than becoming a bride. Her latest passion is hot-air ballooning, which doesn’t make it easy for her matchmaker and his lovely new wife to find her the perfect groom. In fact, it makes the task next to impossible!

Kane Jameson, cowboy by day and innkeeper by night at the Black Barrel Inn, sees no point in marrying and settling down any time soon. Life is one big adventure, and he’s fairly certain it doesn’t begin and end in Brownsville, Texas

Until Bert Langston bursts uninvited into his group of friends at a town picnic to join their debate about the future of air travel. He finds himself so enchanted by her careless beauty and much-wrinkled gown that he accepts a dare from his brother and business partner, Griff, to do whatever it takes to capture her attention on a more personal level — as her next suitor!

NOTE: This title was originally part of the Bride Herder Series. It has been rewritten to be a sweet historical standalone romance.
