The Cattleman's Bride

A widow without a penny to her name. A cattleman needing a woman's gentle ways.

Cora Hatch thought she could raise a family and grow old with her husband, but when she finds herself a young widow with nothing to her name, she answers an advertisement to become a cook, housekeeper, and farm help to a stranger out west. Now all she has to do is take a train across the country and marry a cattleman she's only communicated with through letters, though that sounds like a monumental feat.

Levi Finch is tired of hearing his father complain about his cooking and since the old man won't remarry, Levi decides it's up to him to find a woman to help out at the ranch. Placing an advertisement for someone to help them seems to be the only logical answer. When Cora, a widow from back east, responds to his advertisement, he's certain the woman can slip into the role that had been taken care of by his mother.

But when Cora arrives, sparks start to fly between him and his new wife. Will they be able to get past their plan to just be partners in life and not in love? Or will they spend the rest of their lives, longing for each other?
