She Chose the Rancher, But the Mountain Man Stole Her Heart

She traveled to Wyoming as a mail-order bride... but the man waiting at the station wasn't her fiancé. "I came for you." Those were the first words Malachi Ford ever spoke to Rowena Blythe. She expected Preston Ford — a wealthy rancher who promised her a comfortable life in the Wyoming Territory, 1883. Instead, she found a rough-bearded mountain man standing on the train platform. Preston had been dead for three weeks. With no money and nowhere to return to in Ohio, Rowena accepts Malachi's offer to stay at the Ford ranch. But the more time she spends with this quiet, honest mountain man, the more she realizes how different he is from the brother whose beautiful letters brought her west. Malachi never flatters her. He never makes promises he can't keep. He simply tells her the truth. When Preston's debts threaten to take the ranch, Rowena uncovers a flaw in a creditor's claim — and together, they fight to protect the home that has unexpectedly become hers. But Rowena fears becoming a replacement for the brother she was supposed to marry. Malachi fears loving the woman his brother once claimed. Eventually, one of them must say what has been left unsaid.
