Second Chances
Anna Hauck
Although she tends a Texas ranch that blooms forth with golden roses, Elena is one strong-willed ranch woman who has given up on romance.
A widow still fiercely devoted to the man she lost a year ago, she has no earthly intention of loving again—opting instead to lead a solitary life out on the ranch—escaping only in dreams to reunite with the man who still laid a firm hold on her heart.
Yet one day a ridiculous, preposterously worded mail order bride ad impels her to embark on an adventure; riding by carriage to the Yellow Rose ranch, where a handsome young cowboy seems to be seeking a mail order bride.
Immediately charming by the gentlemanly Justin, she insists nonetheless that she is interested only in lending a helping hand around the ranch. The couple agrees to keep it all business; but with the passing days their love becomes real and romance blossoms.
