It is 1882 and Maggie Cartwright has arrived in Arizona to begin her next undercover case in her career as a Pinkerton agent. Having grown up on the run with her father as an outlaw, and eventually having to watch him hang for his crimes, Maggie vowed to protect the innocent and has dedicated her life to upholding the law. But this may be her most challenging case yet.

Playing the role of Maggie Taylor, she must pretend to be the mail order bride Garrett Thomas has requested. Garrett is a suspect in a train robbery that resulted in one man murdered, and a substantial amount of money disappearing. She plays the homemaker and becomes a mother to Garrett's two adorable children. Soon Maggie's confused and torn, because the more time she spends with Garrett the more she believes him to be innocent. With danger, love, amusing family members, and a close community, there could be many suspects. But when the missing money reappears and everything points to Garrett, will Maggie be able to prove the innocence of the man she loves? And when Garrett discovers Maggie's true identity, will he ever be able to forgive her?

UNDERCOVER BRIDE by Margaret Brownley is an enjoyable tale of love and adventure where two people unexpectedly lose their hearts to each other. But with lies, guilt, and threats surrounding them, there is the fear that they will never be able to have a life together. With many obstacles thrown in Maggie's path, I could not wait for her to unravel the mystery. UNDERCOVER BRIDE by Margaret Brownley is a story about family, love, lies and finding your future, and I highly recommend it.
