Mary Peters despairs that she will never get married. At nineteen, she has no prospects of finding a husband, so she takes matters into her own hands and becomes a mail-order bride. When she arrives in Omaha, Nebraska to meet the man she’s due to marry, he takes one look at her homely appearance and rejects her.
But fate has other plans for Mary. Dave Larson happens to be nearby and thinks she will make a good wife. Though she is stunned that someone as handsome and as kind as Dave would ask her to marry him, she accepts. She knows that this marriage will not bear the fruits of love. Love, after all, is for beautiful women. Isn’t it?

Author note: There are some serious events that occur in this book such as a miscarriage and a secondary character who doesn't care about her baby. I only mention this in case it's too sensitive of an issue for you. The hero and heroine do end up with a happy ending, so it ends on an uplifting note.
