She needed a husband on short notice to save the ranch. They needed a ring to make it official, and his best pal just happened to have a real nice one handy. And they're all about to get way more than they bargained for. Meredith Fayett needed to marry someone before the week was out or she would lose her ranch. It sounded simple, so ranch hand Chance Stevens agreed to take on the job, in spite of his friend Marty's warnings that it could only lead to trouble.
But even Marty, a loyal though opinionated sidekick, couldn't have predicted the mayhem that ensues when his own eccentric relatives appear on the scene, dragging Chance, Marty, and Meredith into the latest skirmish in a long-running family feud. What follows is a hilarious tangle involving an emerald ring, a fearsome aunt, a scheming suitor, and a team of runaway mules-by the end of which Chance finds that even a marriage just on paper has its complications, and that it never hurts to have a good sidekick.
If you love a good screwball romp in a homespun setting-think P. G. Wodehouse meets O. Henry-pick up A Sidekick's Tale now and start laughing!
