She answered one man's proposal ... and fell for his enemy instead.

Flat River, Nebraska, 1873. Elenore Brooks won't submit to cruelty. Refusing to wed a brutal oaf, she heads to Nebraska armed with little more than courage and the intention of marrying a man she's never met. But her dreams of building a life filled with love, family, and faith take a tumble when she arrives in town and realizes her fiancé has died. Now, she's being protected by the grumpy, handsome cowboy next door.

Owen Chapman has no intention of ever marrying. Jilted and betrayed by his fiancée, the rugged rancher buries himself in work right until the moment a beautiful stranger literally falls into his arms. Realizing she was promised to the man next door, Owen will protect her, until he can put on her the next stage out of town, but he will not risk his heart.

Determined not to return East, Ellie never expected a second chance at love. Now, convincing the handsome cowboy she should remain is proving more difficult than she imagined. His quiet strength, fierce protection, and steady presence feel like home. Though the charming blond was never intended to grace his arm, Owen longs to make her his own, but he knows she's not meant for the wild frontier.

Can two hearts hurt by the past risk everything for a love neither of them planned?

Not His Mail-Order Bride is a heartfelt historical western romance featuring a courageous heroine, a wounded but protective cowboy, found family, frontier danger, and a love that grows from unexpected beginnings. Set in the beloved world of Flat River, this slow-burn romance delivers emotional depth, faith-filled hope, and a deeply satisfying happily ever after. Read this book today and discover a love worth choosing.
