Summer Lightning

Edith Parker operated the Farmer and Maid Matrimonial Service. Jefferson Dane, a Missouri rancher, asked Edith to help him choose between three possible brides. Edith, believing that marriage should be a commitment, at first refused to select the winner. But her own growing attraction to the rancher proved a powerful incentive to convince Jefferson she would be the best mother for his daughters—and wife to him. American Historical Romance by Cynthia Bailey Pratt writing as Lydia Browne; originally published by Jove Homespun
