What's a fellow to do when his mail-order bride shows up all of a sudden?

The charming Jeremy Willets thought writing away for a mail-order bride a wise decision. He just had to find a way to break it to his family. They valued true love, after all.

With danger threatening and her brother vanished, her only choice had been to run, right into Jeremy's arms. Now she isn't sure which is more dangerous, the men chasing her or the smile of her cowboy would-be groom.
