His Mother Sent the Midwife Away—He Rode Past 12 Women Invited for Him

When Ruth Bellamy is summoned to Cedar Ridge, she discovers the widowed rancher’s mother has invited twelve prospective brides—and expects the full-figured midwife to enter by the service road. Ruth leaves instead. Nate Harrow rides past every approved match and after her, but one public choice cannot erase the bargain he nearly accepted or the cost now facing his ranch. To earn Ruth’s trust, Nate must prove that love is not another form of debt. To choose him, Ruth must be certain she can keep her work, her name, and the right to say no. An original fictional Western romance set on the American frontier. This story uses adult characters and a consensual, non-explicit romance.
