title: Ethan's Wild Rose Bride
author: Briggs, Mary L.
description: Ethan Kane has made up his mind. He needs a bride–a mail order bride. No fuss, no romance, just a business deal. But before he can send for this future bride of his imagination, he has to learn to read and write. And he knows just the woman to teach him.
  Hallie Bolton, the town's former schoolteacher, is working hard to run her father's ranch. If she doesn't make it a success, her father's hard work was all in vain. When her neighbor offers to barter his working skills for her talent at teaching, Hallie believes her problem is solved. Or is it?
  Can two lonely people work so closely together without love winding its way through their hearts? Trusting God with their futures, Hallie and Ethan may find that He has a different solution to their problems than either had imagined.
