The last thing Walker McKay wants to do is go courting—but it's time to settle down and raise some sons, so he settles on getting himself a mail-order bride. Sara Livingston is the prettiest and sweetest lady he's ever laid eyes on, and though she may not be quite what he expected, Sara's warm nature is irresistible. Sara's dream is to have a husband and family to love, but her tycoon father never thinks anyone is good enough. So she desperately trades places with a mail-order bride and runs away to Wyoming. When her intended groom turns out to be handsome Walker McKay, Sara thinks her every wish has come true. But what if her father finds her and forces her to come home? Sara's just discovered the love of her life...can anyone keep her from staying married to Walker McKay?
Author

Lori Copeland was born on 12 June 1941. She had a relatively late start in writing, breaking into publishing in 1982 when she was already forty years old. Over the next dozen years, her romance novels achieved much success, as was evidenced by her winning the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, The Holt Medallion, and Walden Books' Best Seller award. She has been inducted into the Missouri Writers Hall of Fame. Despite her success in more mainstream romantic fiction, in 1995, she decided to switch focus. Her subsequent books have been in the relatively new subgenre of Christian romance. She has also collaborated with authors Angela Elwell Hunt or Virginia Smith on a series of Christian romance novels. Lori and her husband of over forty years, Lance, live in Springfield, Missouri, surrounded by the beautiful Ozarks. They have three grown sons, three daughter-in-laws, and six wonderful grandchildren, and two great-granddaughters. She and her husband are very involved in their church, and active in supporting mission work in Mali, West Africa.
