ELLA HUNTER never thought she’d be a mail-order bride. But when she sees a photo in the Marriage Gazette of the man she believes killed her brother, Ella agrees to marry the Civil War soldier turned cowboy. Prepared to confront a cold-hearted killer then return home, she finds all her expectations dashed when her intended husband appears to be a good man. Ella’s loyalties are torn between … appears to be a good man. Ella’s loyalties are torn between honoring the memories of her family and her undeniable attraction to Ty Haven.
TY HAVEN needs a wife. The ranch he runs in the wilds of Wyoming Territory could use a woman’s influence. Frankly, so could he. So when Ella arrives like a gift tied up in a cornflower-blue hair ribbon, more intelligent, practical, and, yes, beautiful, than he could have imagined, he hopes she will give him and the West a chance. Turns out, he doesn’t just need a wife. He needs Ella. But she has a secret, and it might destroy their marriage almost before it’s begun.
Can the unforgivable be forgiven? What will the cowboy ranchman do when he learns why…THE MAIL-ORDER BRIDE CARRIES A GUN?

Great characters, great storyline, enough plot twists and turns to keep the reader fully engaged.
Likable characters and pretty good plot.
A good light read!
Great read. Would love to know what happened with Boone.
I am a sucker for mail order bride stories and this one did not disappoint. It was a little hard to believe that Ella comes across the man she thinks killed her brother in a newspaper. But she sets off to find and kill him. She finds out he is not at all what she expected. The story gets interesting from there.
I always learn something from historical fiction. This one talks about the great die-off which I knew nothing about.
It is a satisfying read and set you up for the second book in the series.
Loved the characters and story development
Such a good story, I loved it!
Enjoyed this story. Easy read. Looking forward to the other brother’s stories as well.
