title: The Cheyenne Mail Order Bride Romanced by the Ranch
author: Kelly, Iris
description: To his dying day, Lydia Maxwell's husband never forgave her for failing to give him an heir. Who could blame him for his bitterness? The world has little use for barren women. Lydia had lost all hope of any kind of future when she sees a Cheyenne rancher's ad for a mail-order bride. Giles Cooper has already raised a family and only seeks companionship in a second wife. Lydia writes the rancher back, excited about the prospect of a new life out West. What Lydia doesn't know is it was Giles's daughter who placed the ad. When she arrives in Cheyenne, she discovers Giles is adamantly opposed to remarrying. Devastated, Lydia will need every ounce of strength and courage to move forward on her own, and Giles finds himself in a state of high confusion as he becomes mesmerized by the spirited independence of a woman who refuses to let go of her dreams.
