"Mail-order bride Constance Jennings steps off the stage in Cottonwood, Wyoming, and waits for her husband-to-be. But he never shows up, and instead several other men are vying to take his place! Single father Ellis Clayton must be the only man in town not looking for a bride. But his young daughter's habit of rescuing wounded critters means he ends up offering Constance a temporary shelter. Having a woman around the house again is all too easy; especially seeing her bond with his daughter; but Ellis can't seem to let go of the past. Problem is, neither can Constance. And hers is about to catch up with her."-- P. [4] of cover.
