Plain and tall, Emily Cannon is not the mail-order bride Luke Becker is awaiting. But when his intended, her sister, was killed, Emily decides to leave Chicago and head for Oregon as Lukes bride.

Emily comes to Luke seeking a home. Though shes far from whom he expects, he has no choice but to accept Emily because his unruly daughter, Rose, needs a mother.

Emily and Luke agree to a marriage of convenience and with his mean-spirited mother-in-law, hostile and angry daughter, and her deception between them, it would seem that a loveless marriage is all Emily will ever know.

Yet, Emily and Rose slowly begin to bond over Roses artistic talent and forge a respectful relationship, while Lukes blossoming admiration for Emily begins to change the rules of their marriage.

Luke begins to learn to trust once more and Rose flourishes like a lovely flower, but with Lukes mother-in law sniping at them, it takes courage to fight for the family she has come to love.

I love mail order bride themes! The story was well paced and all the family characters were very interesting and well developed. This one was different because it involved a bitter, domineering, and interfering mother-in-law. Emily's insecurities about her plainness and height were well written, and Luke's grief and general dissatisfaction with his home life were realistic. A very good read and entertaining tale. 3.8 stars

She was his bride in name only. Could she teach him to trust in love once again?
