From Booklist
Sarah O'Neill arrives in Calgary looking forward to meeting her future husband, John Calloway, chief surgeon of the mounted police, only to discover that he has no idea who she is. It seems that some Mounties at Fort Calgary sent away for a wife for their friend and commander without telling him, and John isn't interested in marrying her. The embarrassment doesn't end there because once people misinterpret her relationship with John, any plan Sarah had of finding a job and searching for her missing brother is ruined. Captivated by both her courage and her beauty, John changes his mind and proposes to her, but their fledging marriage will face many tests before it becomes the loving relationship they both desire. A hero who sees people only in black and white meets a heroine who understands that things aren't that sharply defined in Bridges' excellent historical romance, which neatly combines a refreshingly different historical setting with some fascinating details about Canada's mounted police.
