Dora Sullivan sought a new life out West as a mail order bride—one that didn’t include her working in a crowded Massachusetts factory—but now she’s found herself in a bind. The man she’d come out West to marry died in a horrible accident while she was traveling and she’s unsure what she’ll do, until she finds out his rude and belligerent brother Max is laying claim to marry her instead.

Raymond Ellis has been a wandering cowboy for as long as he can remember. Growing up an orphan, he’s perfectly fine with the wandering life until he meets Dora Sullivan. Something about this sweet, kind, and beautiful woman stirs a longing deep in Raymond. Can he forsake the traveling life to marry Dora or will Max snatch her up first?
