Signed, Sealed, & Delighted — Crystal L. Barnes

Her father's dying wish changes everything... After years of working in the Cater Springs' clinic, Sarah Asher never planned on marriage. However, she neglected to mention that to her pa. Determined to fulfill his dying wish, despite her well-informed fears, Sarah marries Joseph Matthews but only after a few signed and sealed promises. One in particular-he can kiss any dreams of sharing a room with her goodbye. Joe has never had any luck with woman, and marriage doesn't seem prone to change that. Sarah might be a handsome filly and his only ticket to inheriting the ranch promised him, but she's pricklier than a barrel cactus and more temperamental than a Texas tornado. Keeping his distance from her should be easy. Only it isn't. The beautiful woman attracts trouble and constantly requires saving, putting her well within arms' reach. Will signed promises seal their fate to a loveless marriage, or can Sarah move past her fears to find a love worth delighting in? (Originally released as "Let's Make a Deal," "Signed, Sealed, & Delighted" is more than double the length and packed with even more fun, faith, and friction than before.)
