A Hard Fought Love (Mail Order Brides of Roundup)
Rebecca Tilley
As the only daughter of a wealthy Lexington, Kentucky businessman, Hannah Collins has the perfect life. She spends her days planning her rapidly approaching eighteenth birthday party, and daydreaming of the incredibly romantic proposal that is sure to come her way from the town’s most eligible bachelor, George Atworth. Hannah’s world crumbles around her when a fire devastates her home, leaving her orphaned and clinging to the hope that marriage may restore some of what she has lost. In a cruel twist of fate Hannah finds that not only is marriage out of the question, but her substantial inheritance has been stolen. Down on her luck, and with nowhere to turn, Hannah resigns herself to an option that she had never considered. She would become a mail order bride. She soon realizes that she is in for the fight of her life trying to find love in Roundup, Montana with James Holter. Even though he seems like he could easily be the man of her dreams, surprises and confusion drive her to wonder if she will ever be loved, and if it was worth leaving everything she had ever known. Amidst the laughter and the heartache Hannah learns that there are some things worth fighting for, and love is one of them.
