We meet Valerie Burrows. Valerie is on the run from her ex fiancé. Valerie ends up in the small town of Springtown. Matt Jordan is the big city lawyer who moves back to his Springtown.

Valerie is a spoiled rich girl, who has never had to work a day in her life. But after being on the run, she finds that she has no money, no credit cards, and no wallet. Valerie has to learn to do things on her own. Valerie also vows never to give a working person a hard time again.

Matt has come back to Springtown to help his sister after the loss of her husband. Matt has a hard time trusting people. He can't handle lies. These two clash when they meet. Matt has sworn after marriage after seeing his parents marriage go down in flames.

Valerie is keeping a secret and would like nothing better than to tell Matt the whole story, but there never seems to be the right time. Valerie knows how Matt feels about liars.

Slyvia McDaniel writes about family, friendship and promises. She also writes about how friends can also become family. People in this town do what they can to help each other out. Slyvia's dialogue between the two main characters is really humorous. There is a very quick wit about it. This is the kind of story that I again was laughing out loud.

Slyvia McDaniel has other books out. I am going to have to start watching for them. If they are anything like THE WANTED BRIDE, she may become my new favorite author.
