The Bachelor
by Kate Bridges

She'd won herself a Mountie...but Diana Campbell knew even a brief relationship with Officer Mitch Reid, her bachelor auction "prize," could lead only to disaster for her family—and heartbreak for herself. For she wanted this marvel of a man not just for today—but for all their tomorrows!

Mitch Reid had returned to Calgary a changed man. A newly sworn officer of the Mounted Police, he wanted only to rectify the errors of his wilder days by serving the public. He had neither time nor desire for romance—until Diana Campbell, armed with a nickel and a fastball, won his services for a day!
