Val Connor is familiar with heartbreak – too familiar. When his fiancée leaves him to become a Mail Order Bride, he swears off love for good. But Val is the only son to aging parents, and his father is determined to keep the Connor Ranch in the family name. When Val is pressed to marry or lose his inheritance completely, he reluctantly agrees to write for a Mail Order Bride of his own. Mail Order Bride Isabelle Dollenberg is sweet, kind, and pretty, and she wants nothing more than to find true love and have a family of her own. But her match, Val Connor, is little more than coldly polite to her. Is her dream of a happy marriage nothing more than that – a dream? An arranged marriage has little chance of success when it’s forced – and when secrets are being kept.
