[Brides of the West 15] • The Filly & the Gambler

When Cole Martin won a filly from old Harmon Gibson, he never in his wildest dreams expected to win Harmon's daughter. Hell, he didn't even know Harmon had a daughter. No one did! But Harmon was dying and it was his last wish that Cole take Gabby as his wife. Gabby was no more willing than Cole, but to appease her father she agreed to a sham of a wedding.

When Cole first met Gabby she was wearing men's clothes, was as dirty as a wet mop and he wanted no part of her, but when her flop hat flew off and the long red tresses of hair fell down her back, he had to take a second look. How could he have not seen her beauty?

Still, it was no marriage made in heaven, that was certain, and the two of them had to reconcile their difference or get an annulment. Cole hadn't counted on feeling anything about the girl, and Gabby was just as reluctant as he to settle down to marriage. Still, Cole had promised her father to take care of her, and he aimed to keep that promise, come hell or high water!
