The Sweetheart Arrangement
After two broken engagements, Isobel Glasen's determined to stay single--until a runaway horse makes her an accidental entrant in the Ride for a Bride race. And her ex-fiance's brother is the winner. With a successful business and a cozy apartment, Isobel has a life as carefully constructed as the beautiful gowns she designs. But now a fake courtship may be the only way to quell town gossip.
New to town, Alec Russell aims to get his veterinary clinic off the ground. Though he once secretly pined for Isobel, he's determined to escape his brother's shadow and find a woman who chooses him first. But could time spent together provide a second chance--and turn pretense into the perfect match?

My Review: 5 StarsStacy Henrie has created a lovely Western town around the turn-of-the-century with intriguing characters. I love how former book characters make cameos in this charming tale.Isobel is a dressmaker and making her own way in Wyoming. How I would love to see her dress creations! My fingers almost itch to attempt sewing a dress for myself, but I know how bad I am at it. She is a sweet and dedicated woman, even in the face of watching her dreams disappear right before her eyes. The last person she expected to show up in town is a man from her past--Alec. What a specimen of perfection with a sense of humor to match!After a tentative friendship, with sparks of attraction, forms between the two, the town's Ride for a Bride event occurs and I was laughing hysterically with pure delight at the whole event and the results. Oh, what a fun way to set up the rest of the story! I was purely captivated from start to finish and loved every minute. This story is sweet and entertaining, and will even tug on the heart.Content: mild romance; mild religion
So glad you enjoyed it, Katie! This was a fun one to write.
