Brides Escaping Westward

Evelyn Fry's own father sold her to clear his poker debts. Abused, neglected, and looked down on, Evelyn's new life is worse than her old one. She escapes the only way she can-by answering an ad for a mail order bride. Frank Cannon isn't what she expected. A one-armed rancher and with two small children. Sullen and moody, Frank won't touch her. Won't hold her. Won't even look her in the eye. All because of his past. Until one day, everything changes… But just when Evelyn thinks her past is behind her, it shows up again. Evelyn can keep running west, or she can do the unthinkable-fight to keep her family. There's just one catch. Frank doesn't know anything about her past. And telling him won't be easy. Will Frank leave Evelyn to fend for herself, or be the first person in her life to stand beside her?
