A Cowboy for Keeps by Jody Hedlund is a lighter story then others that I have read by this author.
Greta Nilsson responds to an ad for a mail order bride. Her purpose it to take her young sister out west to help with her consumption. Everything seems to go wrong. First their stage is held up and she loses all her money. Next the man she was supposed to marry dies. Which leaves her homeless and penniless.
Wyatt McQuaid finds himself in town when the stage arrives. A fellow passenger, Mr. Steele, comes up with a plan to help Greta, and gives Wyatt an out for his struggles running a ranch.
Greta has a hard time reigning in her young sister as she gets herself into lots of trouble. Their sibling relationship strikes me as true to form.
The ending introduces you to Wyatt's siblings, and it looks like the continuation of the series.
I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through Net Galley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
