Though she’s loath to admit it, Audra Drysdale needs a man to save her ranch. Her father has passed away and her hands are abandoning her like rats from a sinking ship. Worse, neighboring cattle baron Jess Fairbanks is making a play for the Diamond D and Audra, whichever he can get his hands on first.Audra grudgingly accepts that the mere presence of a husband will keep her men working, and Fairbanks under control. It seems a perfectly reasonable idea, then, to ask her uncle, who is the town attorney and a matchmaker of sorts, to find her a groom—a “proxy” who will take her orders and dish them out to the men.Dillon Pine is in jail for a conspiracy charge, but because of certain mitigating factors he’s deemed a good risk for an unusual form of probation: serving as Audra’s husband. After a year, he can abandon her and she won’t tell. By then, she will have proven to the cowboys she’s a competent rancher, and the cattle man next door will be looking elsewhere for a wife. But when word gets out that Dillon came to Audra via Evergreen’s matchmaker, he’s dubbed a “male order bride.” The resulting jokes at his expense are constant and brutal. Just how much abuse can Dillon’s pride stand? When Audra discovers her father’s death was no accident, she realizes her new husband is in danger, too. And she cares . . . quite a lot, it turns out.To save Dillon, she may have to let go of the one thing she’s fought her whole life to keep.

This new novella by Heather Blanton continues in the same wonderful little town of Evergreen, Wyoming where her fantastic story, Hang Your Heart On Christmas, took place last year. We even get to see Dent Hernandez, the gorgeous sheriff of the town, again in this book. However, this story revolves around the character of Audra Drysdale, a rancher's daughter who so badly needs a temporary husband in order to keep her ranch that she goes looking for a male mail order bride. It's a great idea and concept where many problems pop up for the cute couple they never expected, and neither does the reader. The man Audra's lawyer uncle finds her is not exactly who or what she thinks he is.Dillon Pine goes along with it only to a certain degree because he got caught up with the wrong people who are lying about the "crime" he supposedly committed. He's not guilty of what they charge him with, but his involvement did skirt the law in a way. I loved the characters in this book, especially the interaction between Audra and Dillon. He tries his best to follow her plan where she gives the orders in private to him, then he gives her orders to her two remaining ranch hands. But, they are supposed to be a happily married couple and the respect he deserves crumbles as Audra forgets to tell him her orders in private. That, plus the fact that word gets out in town that she asked him to marry her is just too much for any man to bear, or is it?She has no idea about Dillon's past and his accomplishments and thinks he is a drifter that breaks the law. She does not even think he can ride a horse! He lets her believe what she wants until he really starts to care about what she thinks of him.
