Book Description:
One ranch. Three sons. Only one will inherit...and on one condition.

Tired of waiting for his sons to settle down, Arizona-territory rancher Angus McKettrick announces a competition: the first son to marry and produce a grandchild will inherit Triple M ranch. Now, three distinctly different, equally determined cowboys are searching high and low for brides.

If Emmeline Harding knows one thing, it's that she can't hold her liquor. And though she's not sure how she came to wake up next to a stack of gold coins in a brothel, she fears the worst. Fleeing town as a mail-order bride, she wonders: how will she ever confess her past to her handsome new husband?

Freedom-loving Rafe McKettrick is a man of strong beliefs and stronger passions and he'll do anything to win the Triple M -- even marry a stranger. To his surprise, Emmeline's charms beguile him even as the secrets he senses she's hiding ignite jealousy and suspicion. But when a visitor from the past enters the high country, the newlyweds have no choice but to give up on a marriage in name only and seek a union that satisfies them body and soul.

This is the first in the McKettrick Cowboys Trilogy by Linda Lael Miller. It explains how Angus, father over his clan of wayward, hell-raising cowboy sons, got the ball rolling. He promised his Triple M ranch to the son who was first to settle down, get married and produce a grandchild. It's obvious his sons know about producing offspring...but who will be first to tie the knot? Let the chase and humor begin!! Vol. 1 is Rafe's story. Read the remaining books in the series: Vol. 2 is "Shotgun Bride," and it's Kade's turn. Vol. 3 is "Secondhand Bride" and tell's about Jeb's efforts. There's an add-on, too: "McKettrick's Choice." It's Holt's heartwarming story. All books are worthwhile reading and very entertaining.

To a family wager to determine who will acquire the family ranch, add a spirited mail order bride (with a secret past) and a newly found family member. Stir well with humor and Ms Miller has delivered another great story.
Loved the book.
