Book Description

In Passion's Crossing, Kansas there aren't enough men. An ordinance was passed that a man's sentence to hang will be considered fulfilled if he agrees to marry. Rosie Mulvehey decides to marry Bowie Stone as he stands with the noose around his neck. She expects him to work on her hard-scrabble farm, to help her make it a success. Rosie is used to dressing like a man, she can't make it through a day without getting drunk and she stinks. Bowie was condemned for killing a man, although it was in self-defense, and he had been court-martialed for refusing to attack a group of unarmed women and children Native Americans. He decides to make the best of it, knowing that he still has committments back east, and comes to know the true Rosie hiding beneath the dirt and bluster. Secondary romance involves his first wife who believes that he is dead and thus becomes a mail-order-bride.
