The Marriage Pact (Hqn)
Eighteen-year-old Hadleigh’s fancy wedding ended before the vows when her late brother’s best friend, Tripp Galloway, swooped in and literally swept her off her feet, throwing her over his shoulder and carrying her kicking and screaming out of the church to save her from a disastrous marriage. Ten years later, with no family left, Hadleigh makes a pact with her two lifelong best friends to find true love and marriage even though there is a dearth of eligible men in their Wyoming ranching community. Trip Galloway, after years spent in the military as a pilot and as the owner of an aviation company, returns to Bliss County to help his ailing stepfather. Soon Hadleigh and Tripp really get the town talking. Once again, Miller tells a satisfying, feel-good tale populated with good people trying to do what is right, people who find healthy, hot passion and genuine relationships. Miller also realistically depicts the contemporary West, from beloved dogs  to livestock auctions, rutted roads, and pickup trucks. --Diana Tixier Herald
