CHRISTOPHER
“I think I heard you wrong, could you repeat that?” On the other end of
the phone, Lincoln’s voice sounded both shocked and amused.
I rolled my eyes skyward and stared at the ceiling of my office. “You
heard me. Mail. Order. Brides.”
“Your mother ordered brides for you and your brothers? For Christmas?
Is that even legal?”
“Apparently.”
“And you’re sure this isn’t just your mom attempting to get
grandchildren?”
I’d considered it because I couldn’t wrap my head around the idea that I
needed a wife to save Snow Valley, the small town where my brothers and I
grew up.
“Yep. Looked into it myself. Snow Valley’s founder enacted a law in
1870 that stipulated the owner or owners of the town be married. It’s
somehow been overlooked for the last hundred and fifty or so years.”
Lincoln chuckled. “Probably his own scheme for grandchildren.”
“Who the fuck knows. But Jasper is retiring and plans to sell Snow
Valley to the Titan corporation on New Year’s Day. So, now I’m stuck
between marrying a stranger by New Year’s Eve or losing the town.
Lincoln didn’t even attempt to hold in his laughter, and I grit my teeth
until he finally calmed down. “I’m sorry, but this is like something straight
out of an old Western romance.”
“Sounds like you want to take my place,” I drawled.
Lincoln snorted. “You’re like a brother to me, Christopher, but I am not
taking that bullet for you.” He snickered before adding, “It’s time to brush off
the ol’ horse and buggy before you meet the missus.”
“Why are we friends, again?”
Lincoln and I had been best friends since we were kids, even though it
made no sense since we were practically opposites. He was outgoing, funny,
and the life of the party while I was the man of few words who would rather
be working in my office or at home with my dogs and a good book.
“Because you need someone to bust your ass from time to time.”
I sighed and dribbled my fingers on the top of my desk. “This is crazy.”
“And yet, you’re going to go through with it.”
“What makes you so sure?”
“Because you love your mother and this town. And, you know she’s right.
The last thing you want is some money-grubbing assholes coming in and
turning Snow Valley into a tourist trap, and telling you how to run your pub.”
“I don’t need a woman around interfering with my pub and brewery
either,” I grumbled.
“Now, now. It’s ‘our’ pub and brewery, not ‘my’.”
Fucking hell. “I need a damn drink,” I muttered before hanging up and
stalking out of my office.
