Book One of the Wedding Dress Series.
Traveling west from Boston is the adventure of a lifetime for mail order bride, Matilda Cummings — until she learns her soon-to-be husband, Dawson Chandler, had no use for a wife.
Switching places with her twin sister to become a mail order bride seemed like the thing to do, until feisty Matilda Cummings reaches the wilds of Dodge City and finds out her soon-to-be husband hadn't seen fit to meet her train, sending his brother instead.
Dawson Chandler wants more than anything to strangle his younger brother when he learns he's unwittingly signed a binding marriage contract. He's got no use for a wife, especially the tiny, prissy looking woman whose picture haunts him. A lady, polished and shined, has no business living on the Rocking C Ranch, nor with a man like himself.
Afraid of hurting a delicate woman with his rough and tumble ways, Dawson never plans to marry. After all, why should he shackle himself to a lady when he prefers the experience of a seasoned whore in the bedroom? Much to his dismay, he finds his little lady is nothing like he'd imagines. Soon, Dawson and Matilda find themselves struggling through not only their physical but emotional relationships in search of love. Will they find it?
