Gentry And The Mail Order Bride

Nothing much riles Gentry McRae. He works hard on the ranch he co-owns with his best friend, and is content with his life. He's proud of all they've accomplished in the ten years since the war. That is, until his partner dies and leaves his half of the ranch to his mail-order bride-and wills the bride to Gentry. "Now just a doggone minute, I don't plan to marry for years!" But, a single woman can't reside on a ranch where four men live without ruining her reputation. What's a good man to do, except marry the woman when she arrives? Heidi Roth has been spurned for being too plainspoken and too tall. In addition, her sister constantly makes fun of her for those reasons. That's why-with many doubts-she's willing to travel for months from Bavaria to Texas to marry a man who once lived in her town. When she arrives, she learns her prospective groom is dead, but left her his share of a ranch. She has serious doubts, but agrees to wed Gentry to protect her reputation. Sure enough, from the next day, one event after the other happens to complicate her life-yet she is happy. Until she sees the will and learns they are not equal partners as Gentry had led her to believe. Sometimes the perfect match is the one you didn't expect.
