The year is 1885. Maddie Kendall's parents are gone, her sisters married, living far away. She is all alone in Corinth, Colorado.

Then the ad for a mail order bride appears, bringing with it the chance for a new beginning, the promise of a family of her own and perhaps even true love, far west in River Oaks, Oregon.

Rancher Luke Jessup is a handsome widower with a beloved young daughter. At first ambivalent about finding a new wife, soon beautiful Maddie claims his heart.

Sparks will fly, hearts will collide and a lasting love they've both been yearning for will be found on the majestic plains of Oregon, in this unforgettable mail order bride novella.
