Henley is on sale for just 99 cents!
Love is a gamble, and heartbreak is a risk she’s willing to take.
Despite her dreams to set down roots, Henley Jones has never had a place to call home. She’s spent her life on riverboats and railroad cars, tagging along with her gambling father. A shoot-out during a card game results in his death, leaving Henley alone and nearly penniless. Out of luck and options, Henley agrees to travel across the country to the newly established town of Holiday, Oregon, to marry a stranger.
A demanding practice in a town clawing its way to respectability keeps Doctor Evan Holt rushing at a hectic pace. He’s far too busy to see to pressing matters like hiring competent help or finding a wife. When one of his patients orders a mail-order bride, Evan can’t decide if the man is crazy or brilliant. From the moment he meets her, Evan battles an unreasonable attraction to the beautiful, charming woman who seems to be hiding something from her past.
In a town flush with possibilities, will taking a chance on love end with heartache or a winning hand? Find out in this sweet western romance full of humor, hope, and love.

I thought it might be fun to share some quotes from the book.
The West was overflowing with gamblers.
They gambled on their dreams, and hopes, and families.
They gambled on opportunities to create better lives, or become better versions of themselves.
Most importantly, they gambled in the high-stakes game of love,
putting their hearts on the line, with no idea if they’d win or lose.
~*~
The child was as cooperative as a drunken donkey in a dynamite shack.
~*~
I’m starting to think there are rocks and tree stumps
smarter than Evan Holt.
~*~
Love might be the toughest gamble you’ll make, but it’s worth the risk.
