Conveniently Wed
Pony Express manager Clayton Young arrives for his new assignment at a Wyoming ranch just in time to save Maggie Fillmore’s ailing baby. The lovely young widow is struggling to care for a ranch, her sister and a newborn, and Clayton plans to pursue medicine—not marriage. Yet Maggie’s dire situation spurs him to offer a match of convenience...
Maggie hoped never to rely on any man again, even one as kind as Clayton. But with her late husband’s greedy cousin trying to take away her ranch, she has little choice. And though Maggie worries her union with Clayton might not be enough to save her ranch, she soon sees it could be just what her heart needs.
“I’m so glad you came along when you did.”
“I am, too.”
Did Maggie have any idea how pretty she was? Her hazel eyes looked tired but happy. Maggie Young was a beautiful woman, and he didn’t have to be in love to appreciate that.
“Well, I just wanted to say thank you again. For everything.”
“You are welcome. Good night, Maggie.” Clayton waited until she shut the door and then prepared for bed. He heard her moving about her room for a moment or two and then the house was silent. His brain went into overdrive in the quiet.
What had he been thinking? Marriage? Responsibility of the ranch? Firing the foreman and taking over his job, along with his own responsibilities as a Pony Express manager? He’d been sent here to do the job of Pony Express manager.
He’d not shirk his duties as a Pony Express employee, he’d not allow harm to come to his new family and, most important, Clayton Young would not fall in love with his pretty new bride.
Distance. That was what he needed to keep between them. If he didn’t get close to Maggie, his heart wouldn’t betray him.
