undercover as a mail order bride. Her “fiancé” is widower Garrett
Thomas, aka the suspected Whistle-Stop Bandit. No sooner does
Maggie arrive in Arizona Territory when she’s confronted with an
early wedding date—the clock is ticking on her detective work or
she may end up a criminal’s wife! As the day of the wedding draws
near, Maggie begins to panic. The problem is that the more she gets
to know Garrett and his two adorable children, the harder it is to
keep up the deception. Can a man as kind and gentle as Garrett

From the Back Cover
Pinkerton detective Maggie Cartwright has no intention of
walking down the aisle. . . .
But her current case has Maggie posing as a mail-order bride for
widower Garrett Thomas, the prime suspect in the Whistle-Stop
Bandit robbery.
No sooner does Maggie arrive in Arizona Territory when she’s
confronted by his meddlesome aunt who insists the two set an early
wedding date. With the clock
ticking, Maggie sets to work to uncover the truth.
Maggie is nothing like the woman widower Garrett expected from her
letters. But he’s immediately smitten with the blue-eyed beauty and
feels the need to protect her, not only from his aunt’s critical
eye, but also from the ugliness of his past.
As the day of the wedding draws near, Maggie begins to panic. The
investigation may be progressing, but the real problem is that the
more she gets to know Garrett and his two charming children, the
harder it is to keep up the deception.
Can a man as kind and gentle as Garrett really be the Whistle-Stop
Bandit? Or has the possibility of a home, family, and a handsome
husband blinded Maggie from seeing the truth?
