From the cover: Marriage by Design. Her sign proclaimed it as one of a number of services procurable through Miss Coady BLake, but there as nothing illicit in what it offered. All a prospective husband had to do was obtain a bride - Coady would take care of the wedding details. BUt it was difficult to purchase luxuries in the Yukon Territory, 1898, and Coady charged accordingly. And when the handsome Stone MacGregor appeared and cried foul of her little operation, Coady found herself desiring more than just his investigation.

After hearing several suspicions about Coady's business ethics, Northwest Mounted Police officer Stone MacGregor took it upon himself to search out the crafty huckster. Instead, the inspector found a willful beauty who thought she knew the worth of every item - and he found himself thinking that the proprietress herself was far beyond price.
