The Blacksmith's Reluctant Bride Cheryl Wright

Her life in tatters, a young woman runs away to become a mail order bride

After her parents tragic death, Amelia Bronson is totally alone in the world. She loses everything to her greedy uncle and worries about her future.

Out of desperation, she confides in a friend, who tells her about mail order brides. It is not a path she wishes to walk, but decides it is her only hope for the future.

Blacksmith, Samuel Thomas, has never thought about marrying, but the older he gets, the more lonely he feels.

As Dayton Falls fills up with happy couples derived from mail order bride weddings, he can't help but wonder if he should take that route also.

Can two people who are so opposed to marriage make theirs work? And will they have a loveless marriage, or will love prevail?
