This is my 5th book by Deeanne Gist. I really enjoyed this stand-alone book. The author built this story around historical people and events of Seattle, Washington Territory around 1866. Joe needs a wife or he's going to lose half his timber acreage in the Washington Territory. Anna needs to escape a lustful boss in Granby, Mass. Both contract with Asa Mercer but under different conditions. Joe pays $300 for a bride who can cook for his lumberjacks. Anna doesn't have any money but agrees to be a cook with the understanding that her employer will pay the $50 to Mr. Mercer when they arrive in Seattle. She will work to repay her new boss. Joe collects his bride and they get as far as standing before the preacher before the misunderstandings come to light. A delightful story with great descriptions of the Seattle, Washington territory and the lumberjack business.
