Opis

Beth Pendleton is tired of the gossip her three failed engagements--each arranged by her pompous father--have created. She knows she's not a jinx, an Ice Queen, a snob, or any of the other hurtful labels slapped on her. She takes food to the ill, serves the community in numerous ways, and is active in church. For her twenty-eight years she has tried to please her demanding parents. Neither her mother nor her father has ever had an encouraging word to say to her. Spiteful comments from her only cousin incite Beth to take charge of her fate. She proposes to Mason Whittaker, her lifelong friend and champion. Mason Whittaker, is a hero after any woman's heart. Carrying on his father's ranching tradition, he has strong family ties. Unlike Beth's critical parents, Mason's mother and father are loving and kind and he has a close knit extended family. As long as Mason can remember, he's been in love with Beth. The only time he loses his temper is when he hears someone speak ill of her. But he's learned to count to ten--or twenty--to curb his anger. He never believed he'd be able to marry her. Her proposal astonished and pleased him. But wait...did she mention love? Will Mason marry Beth and put an end to the gossip? And what about that silly bet Beth made with cousin Rachel that Beth would be wed by the end of June? What will Mason think if he learns of her impetuous gamble? But Beth's bet is not the only hazard to their wedding. Murphy's Law is working overtime as Beth and Mason battle outside forces to create their happily ever after.
