description: A mail-order bride who desperately needs the protection of a husband, a tribal chief who thinks he's the perfect solution to all her troubles, and the lineup of hopeful rivals who plan to give him a run for his money...Chief Pecos is far from thrilled by the sudden influx of new settlers to Christmas Mountain. He prefers things to continue as they've been for centuries with his tribe, taming and riding the mustang herds that roam the foothills. Until a mail-order bride steps off the train with a price on her lovely head... All of a sudden, he can think of one good exception to the way things have always been.Meg Chastain actually has more than one price on her head - first, a bounty for a crime she didn't commit; and, secondly, a bridal contract fee that her penny-pinching matchmaker keeps raising. Oh, and she's fairly certain her new employers at the Christmas Mountain Inn are pressuring the bridal agency to delay her placement, since their customers have never been happier with the meals she so graciously stirs up each day.With a group of bounty hunters closing in, a whole line of hopeful grooms vying for her hand in marriage, and one dark and handsome tribal chief who seems to be silently courting her during his daily visits to the inn, will Meg succeed in finding her perfect match before it's too late?Welcome to Christmas Mountain, a white-capped paradise that entices a collection of wealthy gentlemen, gritty pioneers, and cowboy misfits to give everything they have to carve out a life and settle there - including their hearts!More sweet mail-order bride romance stories by Jo:MAIL ORDER BRIDES OF CHRISTMAS MOUNTAINBride for the InnkeeperBride for the DeputyBride for the Tribal ChiefMAIL ORDER BRIDES RESCUE SERIESHot-Tempered HannahCold-Feet CallieFiery FelicityMisunderstood MegDare-Devil DaisyOutrageous OliviaJinglebell JaneAbsentminded AmeliaBookish BelindaTenacious TrudyMeddlesome MadgeMismatched MaryAnneANGEL CREEK CHRISTMAS BRIDESElizabethGraceLillyWIDOWS, BRIDES, AND SECRET BABIESMail Order MalloryMail Order IsabellaSECRET BABY DILEMMAMail Order Melissande
