Synopsis

Wanted: Women with religious upbringing, high morals, and a strong sense of adventure, willing to marry decent, God-fearing men. Applicants may apply by mail. Must allow at least two months for an answer.

Patience Smith only intends to wear Lenore’s wedding dress for a few minutes, but when a kidnapper snatches Patience in a case of mistaken identity, her life takes an unexpected turn. Lost in the mountains of Colorado, Patience manages to escape her captor only to stumble onto an abandoned mining dugout and a ragged orphan boy.

Denver City sheriff Jay Longer has been on Patience’s trail since the moment she was taken. And he has no desire to force the hot-tempered young woman to return with him. Still, he can’t just abandon her, not when her foolish plans to reopen this mine and find gold are exposing her to danger.

If Patience’s dreams of striking it rich come true, it will mean a whole new future for her and her mail-order bride friends. But neither Patience nor Jay knows just how far someone will go to keep them from finding the treasure inside the mine.

I was glad to finish up the series and read Patience’s story, but I will say that I like the others in this story better.

Goodreads review by Tasha on August 03, 2017

This is book #6 in the Brides of the West series. This books was okay. It wasn't as good as the others because it was moving slower. Patience is kidnapped because she was mistaken for someone else. Her kidnapper was pitiful and didn't get very far. She makes it to a mining hole and finds a young boy......more

More than once I said to myself while reading, "Really?" "Really?" Nonetheless, I kept reading in spite of never seeing Patience in this light in previous books in the series. Typical Copeland story. I was told my mom would like her books. Clean romance. The series is fun, ludicrous at times; still,......more
