Hope (Brides of the West)

Wanted: Women with religious upbringing, high morals, and a strong sense of adventure, willing to marry decent, God-fearing men. Applicants may apply by mail. Must allow at least two months for an answer. Mail-order bride Hope Kallahan is not amused when her stagecoach is waylaid by a bunch of bumbling outlaws. The feisty beauty is puzzled by the oddball in the group–the disarmingly kind Grunt Lawson. She doesn’t know that Grunt is really Dan Sullivan, a government agent sent to infiltrate the gang on what was supposed to be his last assignment. As Hope intimidates hardened criminals into cleaning house and talks Dan into rescuing her, Dan believes God had a reason for throwing her in his path . . . especially since Hope attracts danger like a magnet.
