Lily Towns is determined to marry Matt Logan, even if she has to use her shotgun to get him to the altar. She’d been a skinny little girl when she first boldly proposed. Matt had laughed and refused, telling Lily to ask him again when she grew up. So when Lily’s guardian receives a letter from Matt in Texas requesting a mail-order bride, Lily boards a stagecoach to bring him one—special delivery. After his brother writes away for a wife and forges his signature, Matt knows that his days as a proud bachelor are numbered—and his troubles are only beginning. True, Lily may have filled out in all the right places, but one look at her tells Matt that she’s too delicate to survive for long on the frontier. It also tells him that resisting the sweet seductions of this wily beauty will be the hardest thing he’s ever done. But what Matt can’t yet see is that Lily’s devoted enough to fight for him with all the love in her heart.
