The Senator's Rescue (Rich Man Takes a Bride)

Pressured by his influential US senator father, Lockewood Wynn Sedgewick III needs a wife fast to secure his election to the council for the First Wyoming Territory legislature. Locke has always worked best on his own and resents that the image of a married man is more acceptable to voters. He is dedicated to attracting business to the territory and, in the final six weeks of the campaign, will acquiesce to this demand to reach his goal. So, all the bride has to do is look the role and keep her mouth shut.

Marching for women’s suffrage, Vedia Elbe Jerrold is arrested…again. This time, her father, owner of Jerrold Shipping, has had enough, because her behavior ruined a prestigious contract. Father hires a matchmaker to arrange for a husband to calm his headstrong daughter. Infuriated at her father’s betrayal, she chooses the bachelor who lives the farthest away, hoping the rumors her group has heard about Wyoming Territory leaning toward women’s suffrage. This arrangement might be her best chance at gaining the vote for women…even if she has to relinquish her independence.

Does a marriage under these fraught circumstances have an inkling of a chance?
