August, 1899 A mail order bride, we've heard that before. Little did Megan Mellington imagine she would be a substitute for her tearful traveling companion while journeying out west. Escaping a greedy, grasping uncle intent on keeping guardianship of her wealth, the New York heiress faces no other choice. Marry Bad Billy Baxter or the milksop her uncle has chosen. Of course, Bad Billy has no idea he is the pawn in question. His drink sodden friends had coerced him into signing the contract while totally inebriated. Springtown, Montana has not much to offer the society heiress, only a way to reclaim her wealth. Marry Bill Baxter and take the train out the next morning with a valid marriage certificate in hand. It would be so easy, or so she thought. Easy if the groom wasn't seeking revenge for a forced marriage and a non-existent wedding night. After waking with a hangover, tracking down his errant bride and delivering her out to his rundown ranch, Bill and Megan begin a battle of tempers rivaling the shootout at the OK Corral. Would love win out in this marriage for money? Christine Elwin brings you a laugh-filled battle of two star-crossed lovers who must reconcile themselves to patience and trust, if they are to endure a lifetime together. Christine Elwin makes her home in Mexico with her husband Robert. Initially renovating homes as a pastime, she turned to writing and Marriage for Money is her third novel after Masquerade for Marriage and A Tale in Time.
