Short-Straw Bride by Karen Witemeyer, 2012 Bethany House PublishingThe Archer brothers are some of the most terrifying men in the county, but that doesn't stop Meredith Hayes from accepting the dare of her classmates. She ventures onto Archer land only to be saved by the oldest Archer brother, Travis.
Twelve years later when she overhears a plot against the Archer brothers and their land, Meredith rushes to repay her debt. But Travis Archer and his two brothers have been vigilant against the outside world for much longer than they had allowed anyone in. When a young woman who reminds him strangely of the girl he saved years ago, appears on his land Travis Archer is unwilling to allow invaders into his lands.
Meredith's reunion with the man who saved her doesn't go as she expected. His suspicions, and those of his brothers, do not incline the men to accept this woman and the warning she brings. But when Meredith's life hangs in the balance and she again risks her life on Archer land Travis finds he likes the interloper a sight more than he thought.
With her courage and wit, Meredith worms her way into the eldest Archer's heart and convinces the three men the world beyond their gate isn't the world they've feared for years. She brings the men more than just a warning, and finds more than just a husband in handsome Travis Archer and his brothers. Readers will enjoy the passion which drives Meredith Hayes to revisit the Archers and the misunderstandings that shape their futures.
