A Mail-order Bride meets a US Marshal who just stepped out of a dime store novel... Gerald Tucker leaves the ranch in Blanco County, Texas, to find himself after losing the only woman he'd ever thought he'd loved. Uncertain of his future, he finds an advertisement for a U.S. Marshals training camp in Silverwood, California. There he finds that he must take on a bride before he can assume his new post in Jasper Junction. But she might be everything he needs to survive what lies ahead. Constance Brown is an orphan living as a nanny to her young cousins, but when they both begin to go to school, she finds herself empty-handed and a burden to her aunt and uncle. But they both have a solution to the problem and arrange for her to marry an insufferable man. No, she’d rather not put her heart to death for their convenience—she’d rather move west as a mail-order bride and marry a stranger she’s never met. The choice is either brave or stupid, and time will tell which it will be for her.
