A Lawyer for Linton (Mail Order Mama #8)

Samantha Robertson recently graduated from law school. Aware that legal opportunities are limited for women, she knows entering into a business partnership with an established attorney is her best option for opening doors in the male-dominated profession. She is thrilled when she comes across an advertisement from an attorney seeking a partner.
Linton Merrill has a growing law practice in Sonora, California. A widower with two young daughters to raise, he needs help. He needs a new wife. Due to the shortage of suitable women available, he places advertisements in various newspapers throughout the country. Hoping to attract a woman of intelligence to encourage his daughters to grow and excel, he draws on his legal training and uses a play on words in his advertisements.
After days spent on a train followed by a bumpy stagecoach ride to her destination, imagine Sam’s surprise when she meets her prospective partner and discovers the nature of the legal business in which he wishes her to engage.
