Lucy leaves the bakery in shock and heads to the only other location she knows about besides the station, Sebastian's Pearly Gates Saloon. She quickly persuades Seb to hire her at his saloon and begins an advice column Ask Penelope for the local newspaper. When her family demands her return to Kansas City, she asks Seb to marry her in a marriage of convenience. Though he does not trust women, both want more as their attraction to one another is very strong and turns to love, but she has one secret from her beloved that once revealed could end their relationship she is DEAR PENELOPE............... Highly regarded Sharon Ihle provides a fantastic western romance starring two wonderful individuals who readers will adore. Especially enlightening is the heroine who wants to be loved, love back, and yet maintain her independence. In her two personas the feisty Lucy makes the tale, but the letters to and responses by Penelope are what truly refresh the plot. Fans and reviewers will be writing to praise Ms. Ihle for a fine unique tale." Harriet Klausner
