Dev Masters obviously despised the fact that Raina was an urban socialite who had been a virtual stranger to her now dead father but nevertheless he was the man she wanted to help her keep the homestead intact ... she needed him as her husband.

"Will you marry me?" she blurted out

Raina could hardly believe the words had come from her lips. How could she ask Dev Masters, of all people, to enter into such a relationship?

Dev Masters despised her. He thought she was a good-for-nothing greedy socialite who had neglected her father. Yet Dev Masters was the one man qualified to run her father's outback station, the only one who could help save her inheritance.

Helen supposed she was reasonably content with her marriage-that-was-no-marriage to Drew Lincoln — after six years she was used to it. After all, neither of them had pretended to love the other. Each had married for expediency, and at least it had kept Helen provided with the good things of life — money, glamorous clothes, beautiful homes all over the world. But what about Drew? Having kept studiously out of her way wherever possible and making it clear that he considered her an iceberg, suddenly he was always there, disturbing, overbearing, and — what? She couldn't possibly be finding him attractive after all this time, could she?

The wedding is all set...now someone needs to tell the bride.

In 1860s Seattle, a man with a wife could secure himself 640 acres of timberland. But because of his wife's untimely death, Joe Denton finds himself about to lose half of his claim. Still in mourning, his best solution is to buy one of those Mercer girls arriving from the East. A woman he'll marry in name but keep around mostly as a cook.

Edwina Ladoux hoped becoming a mail-order bride would be her way out of the war- torn South and into a better life, but as soon as she arrives in Heartbreak Creek, Colorado, and meets her hulking, taciturn groom, she realizes she's made a terrible mistake.

Declan Brodie already had one flighty wife who ran off with a gambler before being killed by Indians. He's hoping this new one will be a practical, sturdy farm woman who can help with chores and corral his four rambunctious children. Instead, he gets a skinny Southern princess who doesn't even know how to cook.

Luckily, Edwina and Declan agreed on a three-month courtship period, which should give them time to get the proxy marriage annulled. Except that as the weeks pass, thoughts of annulment turn into hopes for a real marriage-until Declan's first wife returns after being held captive for the last four years. Now an honorable man must choose between duty and desire, and a woman who's never had to fight for anything must do battle for the family she's grown to love...
