Maisie Swaps her Groom

She swaps her groom after being mismatched with the wrong man.

Maisie Brenner, the youngest daughter in the Brides with Grit series book, Sarah Snares a Soldier, grew up on the vast Cross C Ranch. Recently, she and her sisters moved into nearby Clear Creek to take over the town's dress shop.

The Peashooter Society (the nickname for the older women's group in town) decides Maisie needs a husband, even though Maisie is perfectly content to sew dresses and gossip with girlfriends.

Squires Miller, with his brothers and friends, left New York City on an orphan train when Squires was four years old. He was adopted by a man who ran a flour mill and did not have a good childhood. The group of men gets the chance to live and work together in Clear Creek, thanks to the plan of the Peashooter Society.

Because Squires' has no fear of heights, he earns the available carpenter job, but it doesn't come with a home, like the jobs the other men get. When the place where Squires was living becomes unavailable due to his roommate's hasty marriage and adoption of three children, he's left out in the cold, until he decides to sleep on the stair landing of Maisie's dress shop apartment.

Do sparks fly? Yes. Will they become a couple? Maybe...
