"Callie's books are full of fun and romance"Peggy McKenzieBest Selling author of Western Historical Romance Miss Miranda Beamer, the only child of a preacher, sits in jail in Dodge City with three other female prisoners. They are in for various crimes, but Miranda is by far the most serious. She just killed her step-father. Marshal Dale Jones needs to get rid of the women who are not safe in Dodge City, even in jail. He comes up with a plan to ship them to Santa Fe on a wagon train, with a former brothel owner as their chaperone with the idea of being mail order brides. Miranda, however, has a plan of her own. She knows her step-brother will be coming after her when he learns she killed his father. She will travel to Santa Fe, but instead of marrying, she'll get a job, save some money and disappear.Preston Stone, up and coming businessman in Santa Fe will not be allowed the permit to build his hotel and restaurant unless he is married to a respectable woman. He is the child of a prostitute and the owner of a gambling house and saloon. Not respectable enough on his own to get the nod from the Town Council. When Miranda comes to his saloon looking for a job, Preston knows she is the one to help him. He offers her a job as his bookkeeper, but with the condition that she marry him first. No amount of persuasion on her part will change Preston's mind. Job and marriage, or nothing at all.

Prisoners of Love : Miranda is book four in the Prisoners of Love series by Callie Hutton. Wow! I loved this book. I have not read the entire series yet, but this book can definitely stand alone. It had everything a romance fan could want – romance, humor and a few spicy scenes. I really enjoyed the character of Miranda Beamer. She is on the run from her vengeful step brother when she arrives in Santa Fe. Preston Stone needs a wife so that he can be seen by the town as a respectable business owner. When he and Miranda meet, sparks fly. But can they have a true romance or just a marriage of convenience? I am going to go back and start at the beginning of this wonderful series.
