The Shotgun Proposal — Barbara Goss

Book 3 of Heroes of Hays. This is a stand alone book.
Rance Balcomb finds himself facing a ‘shotgun' marriage situation to a woman who doesn't speak a word of English. He
practically ignores Elsa until he sees his new wife with her hair down, wearing the new clothes he'd purchased, and he realizes he's married a beautiful woman. He soon discovers he has a rival for her affections and decides it's time to make their marriage real. Her own father, as well as her former love interest, have other ideas.
