Barbara was young, she was beautiful and she was an impoverished orphan.
Since Mr. Bailey had found her on the streets, she had worked cleaning rooms at the hotel. It was hard work, but she had enough to rent a small room, and just about enough food to eat. She was grateful.
But recently, the male guests had increasingly attempted to force her to do unspeakable things. The situation was untenable!
Mr. Bailey to the rescue again! He gave her enough funds to tide her over, and an idea for her future.
Escape New Orleans and become a mail order bride!
Rancher Riley Scott asked for a pair of boots for Christmas, not a mail order bride!
But, his brother and mother figured a bride would look better on him than a new pair of boots! After all, he'd been sulking around long enough after the death of his wife, and his family decided it was time to take matters into their own hands and see to it Riley had a very merry Christmas!
Riley was sooooo angry, Barbara was so shocked. It sure looks like the plan backfired!!
But maybe not……could these two find each other amidst the lies and secrets?
Maybe it will be a Merry Christmas after all……
