Charity has been washing other people's clothing for a while and longs for love and a family. When she accepts a marriage proposal from a stranger with the understanding that it is a temporary arrangement, she changes her plans to hunting for gold so that she won't be dependent on anyone ever again.
Gabriel's temporary lack of judgment has landed him in a bit of a mess. He has a bet that if he doesn't have a fully functional house built by the spring, he will lose his land and everything he possesses. Desperate to keep what he has, he needs a wife to keep track of his children while he hurries to finish the house. As he works toward his goal, things begin to happen. His cows are missing and seem to end up in the same spot all the time. Things escalate and people start to get hurt.
Charity quickly falls in love with Gabriel and decides that she needs to find gold to make herself seem vital to his home. She tries her best to keep her husband safe, but his stubborn desire to make sure that his family is safe on his own aggravates her, and she just doesn't know what to do with him. She's not the submissive wife that he used to have and that fact takes some getting used to.
This was a pretty good book. There were a lot of typos and words that weren't really in the right order, but I was still able to read it and enjoy it. I just wish someone has read through it before publishing it in that state. According to what I could find, this is the first in a series called (Strike It Rich in Montana). I couldn't find any evidence of others, but she has released a book this year that has nothing to do with the Montana series. The author does have out some other books, mostly the $2.99 and under variety. The other books she has published don't really look like something I would really read, so I'll give this one my Good Book! review and leave it at that.
