Brooke's new husband turns out to be kinder than any man has ever been. But then the unthinkable happens and she holds the key that might save innocent lives but destroy Sky all in one fell swoop.
It's a choice too unbearable to contemplate...but a choice that must be made.

Although Everett Cline can hardly keep up with the demands of his homestead, he won't humiliate himself by looking for a helpmate ever
again--not after being jilted by three mail-order brides. When a well-meaning neighbor goes behind his back to bring yet another mail-order
bride to town, he has good reason to doubt it will work, especially after getting a glimpse at the woman in question. She's the prettiest
woman he's ever seen, and it's just not possible she's there to marry a simple homesteader like him.
Julia Lockwood has never been anything more than a pretty pawn for her father or a business acquisition for her former fiancé. Having finally worked up the courage to leave her life in
Massachusetts, she's determined to find a place where people will value her for more than her looks. Having run out of all other options, Julia resorts to a mail-order marriage in far-away Kansas.
Everett is skeptical a cultured woman like Julia could be happy in a life on the plains, while Julia, deeply wounded by a past relationship, is skittish at the idea of marriage at all. When,
despite their hesitations, they agree to a marriage in name only, neither one is prepared for the feelings that soon arise to complicate their arrangement. Can two people accustomed to keeping
their distance let the barricades around their hearts down long enough to fall in love? ©2013 Melissa Jagears (P) 2013 Recorded Books
