Cunning men bent on exploiting small land owners, drive Samuel Parker from his homestead with the law on his heels. By the time he arrives at the Miller spread, he is ready for a fresh start, and the idea of responding to the ‘mail order papa’ advertisement—written by a young lad around the same age as the brother he’d buried—appeals to him. How was Sam to know that Jessica Carrington—now Miller—was singled out as his intended? If she knew Sam’s past, he would have no hope in winning her affections, but by using the anonymous approach, which the youngster in charge of the matchmaking instructed, perhaps his happy ever after was a possibility. Jessica is still reeling from Curtis’ sudden death and not interested in replacing him despite her step-son’s persistence. Can second chance love prevail against the new ranch hands deception? Return to the Miller Ranch and rediscover the fire of love that burns deeply within troubled souls.
