Sweet western novella.
Chase Ford wasn't sure what to expect when his brother won a ghost town in a poker game and wanted Chase to rebuild it. Chase arrived at the town and fixed up the hotel and livery first. When the stagecoach started stopping to let passengers rest at the hotel and get a bite to eat, Chase figured the town would grow from there. What he needed was a wife, and when Rufus the stagecoach driver, showed him an advertisement of a woman wanting a husband, he wrote to her. Lilly was homeless, but what he didn't expect was for her to bring her aunt and uncle with her and that her grandpa would show up a couple days later. Something wasn't right with his newfound family and he was bound and determined to find out what it was.
Lilly arrived in Chase's ghost town and was happy he seemed to accept her and her family. When they married, he told her he didn't want any secrets between them. She told him as much as she dared about her bank robbing pa, but kept one big secret. She prayed that it wouldn't tear their marriage apart and that Chase would let her and her family stay in town.
