Waking up to Trouble

All Mellon Flanagan needed was a husband. Keeping him was never part of the plan.

With her late father's California gold claim at stake, Mellon needs a husband—and fast. Stone McCormick seems like the perfect solution: a handsome stranger she can marry, leave behind, and eventually forget.

There's just one problem.

Stone wakes up married, missing his wallet, and without a wife.

Mellon may think she's solved her problem, but Stone isn't the kind of man to let his mysterious new bride simply disappear. When he sets out to find her, he discovers that Mellon isn't merely running from a marriage she never intended to keep. She's fighting to hold on to the future her father left behind—and there are others determined to take it from her.

Now Mellon has more trouble than she bargained for, and Stone may be the one man stubborn enough to stand beside her.

What began as a marriage of convenience is about to become something neither of them planned.

A spirited heroine, a determined hero, a contested gold claim, and one very inconvenient marriage make Waking Up to Trouble an Old West romance about finding love where you least expect it.
