A mail-order bride and...her kid brother?

The ad said rancher Rand Harding--a real, live cowboy!--wanted a wife. So orphaned city kid Mack Paxton began planning. He'd pen a gushy letter. Enclose a pin-up picture. Forge his big sister's signature. And presto! Mack would have it nailed: a mail-order marriage for Suzanne and a happily-ever-after home on the range.

Trouble was, Mack's mischief caused surprising friction between rugged Rand and stubborn Suzanne. So Mack aimed to fan those flames and start the home fires burning!

Suzanne Paxton is out of work and at her wit's end. Just when she thinks life can't get any worse, her younger brother answers an ad from a Montana rancher who's looking for a wife. When Suzanne refuses to cooperate, her little brother leaves for Montana on his own, forcing her to follow.

Rand Harding wants a wife who doesn't need love, but his heart doesn't listen after he meets Suzanne.

Will Rand solve the puzzle and keep Suzanne and her brother safe, or will tragedy drive the lovers apart? Fans of the popular Montana Mavericks series will be delighted with this story set in Whitehorn, Montana.
