The stakes were never this high in 1888 Marlow, Colorado, than in this heartwarming novella featured in the Harlequin Historical anthology A Hero's Kiss!
Jack Delaney, owner of the Lucky Streak Saloon, has an offer for Miss Prim and Proper herself Rebecca Merriweather. The new house Jack has built desperately needs a woman's touch, and he wants Rebecca to provide it—and not just because he admires her decorating skills.
Rebecca, who runs the town's tea room, has no intention of entering into a deal with Jack, a man whose mere glance can ruin a lady's reputation. Jack persists and makes her an offer he's sure she can't refuse. But when Rebecca names her price for the job, he can't believe it!
Will their bargain make them the talk of the town—or lead to love?
