Search - Daniel's Bride

I have seen this book listed as one of Miller's best. After reading in two days, I can now say I know why. Great read, very believable story, With humor, love, passion and sorrow. Well written and developed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My Amazon review - I've read many romance novels where sex is all two people in a marriage of convenience have in common, but this book is special. Miller instills a level of tenderness in this relationship that is missing from so many novels, and makes the reader ache for both the hero who still mourns his dead wife and the heroine who is trying her best to connect with him. The conflict of wanting someone and yet not really trusting them is so sharp in this story, yet the reader always has a sense of hope for this special couple and it is very realistic when the walls finally come down. This book is a keeper for Miller fans or those new to her work.

To avoid the hangman's noose, young Jolie McKibben enters into a marriage of convenience with farmer Daniel Beckham, and finds that the sense of trust, the shared work and hardships lead inevitably to true love.

This was a fun,romantic read with some tragic and fun all in one. Don't miss this one!!

Literally read this book in a day, such a great story!

When a woman has to choose between death and marriage to a total stranger, she must be in a dire predicament....
And for Jolie McKibben, about to pay by hanging for a terrible crime she didn't commit, salvation by marriage couldn't come a moment too soon. Housekeeping for Daniel Beckham, a widower who invoked the town's wedding ordinance to rescue Jolie from the gallows, is better than the alternative...but understanding the silent stranger who is now her husband might just about kill her.

Daniel doesn't believe in Jolie's innocence. And despite his willingness to marry the pretty, defiant "outlaw" on the spot, the prosperous farmer had little to say to her after "I do." But for Jolie, their arrangement of convenience soon deepens into a rich and vibrant attraction that sets her trembling with desire in Daniel's presence. Somehow, she would win his love, body and soul. Unless the desperados on her trail shatter the fragile, trusting bond of husband and wife....

Linda Lael Miller's beloved novel of the American West shimmers with the unbridled passion of two adventurous hearts!

Enchanted by the beauty of Jolie McKibben as she awaits death by hanging, Daniel Beckham stops her execution by invoking the town's wedding ordinance and agreeing to marry her. The most wildly romantic novel yet from the author of Caroline and the Raider. To avoid the hangman's noose, young Jolie McKibben enters into a marriage of convenience with farmer Daniel Beckham, and finds that the sense of trust, the shared work and hardships lead inevitably to true love.

An unlikely bride & groom, add some danger and a sizzling romance.
