A Bride For Keeps (Unexpected Brides #1)
Melissa Jagears [Jagears, Melissa]A TENDER TALE OF LOVE ON THE
PRAIRIE. 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 3 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 is the prettiest woman he has ever seen, & it is just not
possible she is 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 is 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.
