The Starry-Eyed Mail Order Bride (Brides of Bethany Springs #5)
Charlotte Dearing

Emmaline plans her escape from an arranged marriage. Out of desperation she agrees to become a mail order bride. With a hopeful heart, she sets off for the wilds of Texas, daring to dream of happiness and romance.
Paul McCord’s letters are no-nonsense. He’s a little rough around the edges, and yet, Emmaline’s sure that her rugged cowboy has a tender, gentle nature. He just doesn’t realize it yet.
Secretly, she plans to show Paul his hidden, romantic side.
True love always finds a way…
Paul has a rock-solid plan
Paul intends to claim his inheritance. He just needs to get married. Pronto. The mail-order agency promises a respectable young lady. Emmaline’s all that and more. She’s even a tad fancy. Trouble is, she carries on about moonlight and sunrises and other romantic tomfoolery.
He might offer his bride a few pretty words when she steps off the train. Why not? But once they’ve said their vows, there won’t be time for picking daisies hand-in-hand or looking at the starry skies each night.
He’s a cowboy. A rancher. He’s far too busy for any silly romance.
