She wanted a new beginning. What she got was a brawling groom and a shattered dream.

Wilhelmina knew becoming a mail-order bride was a risk—but it was her only shot at escaping a scandal that left her reputation in ruins. With nothing but hope in her heart, she boards a train to Montana, dreaming of a husband, a home, and a fresh start.

What she finds instead is chaos.

Her would-be groom, Marcus Hamilton, is in the middle of a fistfight when she arrives—dusty, furious, and clearly not expecting her. Turns out, he had no idea he was getting a bride at all.

Marcus never asked for a wife, but the moment he lays eyes on Wilhelmina, he's captivated. Problem is, she's ready to turn right back around—and he can't blame her.

Now, he'll have to fight a different kind of battle: to prove he's more than a mistake, and to convince the woman he never saw coming that maybe... just maybe... they were meant to be.

A heartfelt and swoon-worthy beginning to the Brides for All Seasons series—perfect for fans of strong heroines, rugged heroes, and love that rises from the dust.
