Beulah's Brains — Kirsten Osbourne

Beulah Wigg thinks her life is already as good as it's going to get. An orphan, she teaches at the foundling home where she grew up, and she loves the challenge. When she finds out she has to leave the only home she's ever known and marry so she can start a school of her own, she worries that she is not someone who should be married. She randomly chooses a man to correspond with and agrees to marry him immediately.

When Jack McClain finds out his mother has requested a mail-order bride for him, he's not sure if he should be relieved the problem has been taken out of his hands, or upset with her for forcing him to marry. As soon as he realizes the beautiful Beulah will be his bride, he decides to be happy and make the most of it. Will the two of them be able to compromise to the point where they're both content? Or will they spend the rest of their lives in an unhappy marriage?
