Widow Caroline Kane is the proprietor of a restaurant and inn—and responsible for her five teenaged siblings. But she has no plans of finding a mail-order groom. Aristocratic Britisher Barden Granville IV is on a “cowboy holiday” when he finds himself flat broke in Kansas. When he answers an old “help wanted” ad, Caroline misconstrues Barden is there as a potential husband for a mail-order husband scheme that her Kansas community has set up. When soldiers en route to Mackinac Island disrupt Caroline’s plans for two of her siblings, she needs extra help. Will the beautiful and fiesty widow cause the new vicar to make Kansas his home? Or do family changes in England, call him back?
