description: From an award-winning author with more than one million books sold a new series of four heartwarming historical romances about unexpected brides. Elin Hanson has traveled across the ocean from Norway as a mail-order bride. But when she arrives in the Dakota Territory she finds the man she has planned to marry has abandoned her--and left her to care for his young son. Another unwelcome surprise is her betrotheds partner who only wants her off the ranch. With nowhere else to go Elin strikes a bargain: shell stay on as housekeeper until her missing groom arrives. Sam Andrews has his hands full running his ranch and trying to track down the no-good thief rustling his cows. The last thing he needs is a woman and little boy getting in his way. As he gets to know the fiery Elin a friendship begins to develop. A friendship that could easily turn into something more. But Sams past has taught him the dangers of opening his heart and he hardens his against Elin. When Elins groom-to-be comes home she must make the choice: settle for a loveless marriage? Or hold out for love?
