Bride for the Tribal Chief — Jo Grafford

A lovely cook with a bounty on her head, the Native pioneer determined to protect her with his name and honor, and the unscrupulous mail-order bride agency determined to marry her off to the highest bidder... Chief Pecos is far from thrilled by the sudden influx of new settlers to Christmas Mountain. He prefers things to continue as they've been for centuries with his tribe, whose main livelihood is taming and riding the mustang herds that roam the foothills. Until a mail-order bride steps off the train with a price on her head... All of a sudden, he can think of one good exception to the way things have always been. Technically, Meg Chastain has more than one price on her head - a bounty for a crime she didn't commit, plus a bridal contract fee that her money-grubbing matchmaker keeps raising. With a group of bounty hunters closing in, a growing line of hopeful grooms vying for her hand in marriage, and a darkly handsome tribal chief silently courting her during his daily visits to the inn's kitchen, will Meg succeed in finding her perfect match before her past catches up to her?
