A reluctant groom. An unexpected bride. A partnership neither planned-yet both might need.
Gentry McRae is content with his life as a hardworking Texas rancher, proud of the success he and his best friend have built since the war. But when his partner dies, leaving half the ranch-and a mail-order bride-to Gentry, everything changes. The last thing Gentry wants is marriage, but with a single woman arriving to claim her place and four men on the ranch, he knows her reputation is at stake. Doing the right thing means saying "I do"-whether he's ready or not.
Heidi Roth has spent her life being told she's too tall, too outspoken, and not nearly refined enough. With little to lose, she journeys from Bavaria to Texas, hoping for a fresh start. Instead, she finds her intended groom dead and a marriage of convenience to a man who never planned on a wife. As Heidi tries to adjust to ranch life and Gentry's world, misunderstandings and unexpected revelations threaten their fragile happiness.
Sometimes, the perfect match is the one you never saw coming.
Perfect for readers who love mail order bride romance, western historical romance, marriage of convenience stories, Texas rancher romance, strong heroine tales, opposites attract romance, and small town western series.
