Almost A Mail Order Bride — LeeAnn Mackenzie
One Woman. Three Men. Who will win her heartFor Always?
Life has gotten more than a little complicated for Maggie Dennehy. She inherited the family mercantile after her parents died, but substantial debt threatens to destroy the one thing she has left of her family's legacy. Henry Garrison, the town's ruthless and arrogant bank manager, has proposed a solution. Marry him and she can keep the deed to the property. But this presents a bigger problem, since she'd rather be boiled in lye.
More importantly, Maggie is in love with someone else.
Maggie has known widower Justin Marshall for years and yearns to create a life with him. But the handsome farmer has given no indication there will ever be more than friendship between them. With time running out and her choices dwindling, Maggie discovers an ad for a mail order bride and sees it as a chance to start over. She makes a plan to leave the plains of Illinois and the pain of profound loss behind her.
In the meantime, Justin can't stop thinking of Maggie, but he knows all too well that with love comes pain. Though he's fought hard, it's becoming increasingly difficult to deny his affection for the beautiful, young Maggie.
The banker is pressing for her hand, the Missouri bachelor is eager to claim a mail order bride and, through it all, Maggie has held out hope that Justin Marshall is her destiny.
Will true love prevail before she says “I do” to the wrong man?
