Description
Elizabeth Byrd receives an invitation to join her friends in Cowboy Creek to become a mail-order bride. At first, the former battlefield nurse is scandalized by the idea of agreeing to marry a man she’s never met, but the war has taken everything from her—her brothers, too many friends to count, and her fiancé. There’s nothing left for her in Atlanta but more heartache.
Captain David Pemberton retreats to his hunting lodge in Texas the moment the war is over. He’s looking forward to being alone with the memories of his wife who passed in the early days of the fighting. But the ranchers in Cowboy Creek don’t see fit to leave a widowed soldier alone during Christmas. Insisting four years is long enough to grieve, they dare him to join them on a holiday venture to acquire wives for them all—a dare he accepts in a weak moment.
He receives the shock of his life at who steps off the stagecoach to claim his hand in marriage.
