This is an excellent story and was very interesting.  It included an uncle who held his niece captive and tried to force her to marry a nasty guy.  She was to inherit her late father's money when she married.  Nothing was left in the will for the uncle other than the home and what the man had been given while the brother was alive.  The uncle had gambling debts.  Susan, the heiress was brought a newspaper from her companion with an ad for a mail order bride.  A rancher' s sister-in-law, a mail order bride herself had places the ad and corresponded secretly with Susan.Susan and her friend Nora  arranged a way to be stolen away.  The rancher wasn't' sure he wanted to marry but was a sucker for a sob story and  knew he could not let her be mistreated.  Once he protected her he figured she could go back home.  But he made her "heart flutter" and she was determined to stay.  They all knew that criminals would be coming and it would be dangerous, yet it was the only way Susan could be able to be happy.  There are many details in between.  In a short story,  the characters were well developed.  I always would enjoy Morse details but it was a good story.  I think it would appeal to women.  I am not sure that it has enough violence and specific nasty details for men to enjoy it.  I still want to know who the blue-eyed, deeper-living Indian wanted to someday bring to his feels and wonder how wild and feisty she is.  He did say it would upset the family, so I am going to look for a 2nd book from Via Leah.  I think you will like this one though. Enjoy!
