Loreli Winters never imagined she'd end up a "mail-order
bride" in middle-of-nowhere Kansas -- until the two
adorable orphan nieces of a dusky dream named Jake Reed
beg her to be their new "mama." And one look at the dark,
devastatingly handsome man is enough to entice her to
abandon her California plans and stay put for a while in
this one-horse frontier town.
Strong, sensible Jake was hoping for a wife to help him
raise his girls, but Loreli may be more than he can
handle. He can't stop wondering what it would be like to
hold the fiery enchantress close and kiss her deeply.
Surely he could never compete with the sophisticated gents
she has known, yet he intends to try. But will his honest
passion be enough to take a chance on a long-shot called
love?
