She's fleeing scandal. He's given up on love. Can a proper gentlewoman and a salt-of-the-earth
single dad embrace a second chance at forever?

Elizabeth Edwards's humiliation is complete. Jilted by her cheating beau before
he flew off to war, she bolts to her grandparents' house in Boston away from the lurid
newspaper stories. And when her ex-fiancé tries to kidnap her, the frantic woman hops a train to
Nebraska to answer a charming rancher's mail-order bride ad.

Graham Ballard is desperate. A widower with a farm to run and two children to raise, he's
unprepared when the lady he's corresponded with arrives-as regal as a queen. And though
their attraction is immediate, he's painfully aware this grand and rich aristocrat is ill-fit for his
modest world.

Out of her element with an instant family, a laundry list of chores, and indelicate situations,
Elizabeth fears a dead wife's shadow will always keep her apart from Graham. And the clever
but intimidated hog farmer is certain his gentle beauty will finally tire of the simple life and him.
Can they meld together to find their perfect union?
