Nutmeg Archer has had enough of being invisible in a family of six girls-especially since the man she's pining for doesn't notice her, either. When she finds out he needs a mail-order bride in a hurry, she hatches a plan to get him to notice her, one way or another. Sam Allen gave up his career ambitions and left New York for Tombstone, Arizona, and a new start. He enjoys his job as a bartender-and is very good at it. But because he knew his mother would not approve, he told a white lie that he never thought would be found out. When his high-society mother unexpectedly decides to make a trip to visit, he needs to make that fib a reality-and fast. Sam is dismayed to discover that he has only one positive response to his ad-and to say that he is surprised by who it is is an understatement. It also presents him with a dilemma-what to do when the only person who will marry him is someone he shouldn't be marrying?
