About this book
When Miranda answers a mail-order bride advertisement as her escape from a desperate orphanage life, she makes one crucial omission—she's bringing her two younger brothers along for the ride. Jacob Creed is drowning in his own sorrows and financial troubles, nursing a broken heart while raising a motherless daughter, and he's got secrets of his own about what kind of marriage he's offering. What unfolds is a delicious collision of hidden truths, simmering attraction, and two wounded souls who thought they knew exactly what they wanted—until they met each other. This is a Western that beautifully blends heartache with hope, featuring characters who'll make you root for their second chances at love.
