A Bride for Weston: (The Proxy Brides Book 57) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798742086116)

An unusual banker. A reformed pickpocket. A proxy marriage like no other . . .

When Weston Gardiner inherited his brother's riches, opening a bank in the new, booming town of Crest Stone, Colorado seemed the perfect opportunity to grow that money into a fortune. However, it turns out that not a lot of folks trust a rough, former miner with their money. Weston doesn't necessarily want a wife, but he knows that having a family will lend him the respectability he needs to make his bank successful. But women are in short supply in Crest Stone, and despite the position he's carved out for himself, his demeanor has scared away the few unmarried ladies in town. His only option is to advertise for a proxy bride, a respectable woman to marry him before she might change her mind.

Trudie Martin answers Weston's advertisement despite the fact she's nothing at all like the woman he's requested. She isn't from a good family--or any family at all. She knows nothing about polite society or how to impress folks with money. And she certainly isn't respectable, not when she's spent half her life picking pockets just to survive. But after her last run-in with the law, she knows something must change. She wants a better, more honest life. And what better opportunity than to marry a banker in a place far away? All she'll need to do is pretend to be a high society lady.

But Trudie finds that keeping up the pretense of being someone she's not isn't easy, especially when she starts to develop real feelings for her new husband. Weston finds himself unexpectedly drawn to Trudie, although he suspects she isn't quite who she says she is. When they're each faced with a life-changing opportunity that would assuredly end their marriage, they have to decide which is more important--love or money.

Like all of Cat's books, A Bride for Weston is a sweet and clean romance. Each book in the multi-author Proxy Brides series is a standalone story, and the series can be read in any order.
