silent farmer who could be the key to leaving her troubled
past behind...
In the first novel of a brand-new Texas trilogy, USA
Today bestselling author Jodi Thomas takes her "exquisite
and often lyrical" writing to passionate new heights as an
emotionally wounded man and woman discover the true nature
of love and marriage...
SummaryThrown off a wagon train with two other women and trying
to avoid jail for a murder they committed, Bailee Moore
agrees to enter a "Wife Lottery" — a ploy concocted
by the Cedar Point sheriff to secure wives for the men in
the small Texas town. For the sensible Bailee, however,
marrying Carter McKoy is the like exchanging one life
sentence for another—especially since her new husband
hasn't even uttered a single word to her in her presence.
But still, she can't help thinking that something about
his strong, silent farmer could be the key to leaving her
troubled past behind...and making a worthy wager with her
heart.
