Her husband is dead. She's pregnant. And her lewd brother-in-law is forcing her hand in marriage. She has to escape and fast! Her only hope is to get as far away from Boston--and Garrett--as she can. Betty has run out of options. Except one. Her sister had been a mail order bride, so why couldn't she? But Betty didn't count on her mail order husband rejecting her when he discovers she's with child. Now she's thousands of miles from home with a man who can hardly look her in the face.

Louellen has to escape . . . and fast! She swallows her fear and turns in her letter of introduction as a Mail Order Bride.
She's quickly sent to Mr. Jude Walker in the Wyoming Territory, but there's a problem: He's expecting someone else entirely--a seamstress named Belle. Will he send Lou back? And if he does, will she be forced to marry the leering James Earlton? |
