Lazy Days (Cry of the West- ]Hallie / Abby- Mail Order Bride / Roth- Protector / Dream Kisses)

The sudden demise of Hallie Wells' husband after selling their farm and just about everything they owned to travel west on the Oregon Trail, has left her in a difficult situation. Dare she ask Cooper Jerome, recently returned from the War of the States, if he would put his life on hold for, say, five months to drive her wagon; and that doesn't include his return trip. At this point, she's out of options.
