Nelly's Mail Order Husband - Ruth Ann Nordin - Bog

Valentine Silverton has enjoyed comfort and luxury his entire life. Then, all at once, the family fortune vanishes, and he's a pauper. The only recourse he has is to find a wealthy heiress. Since there are no suitable prospects in his area, he takes his friend's advice and becomes a mail-order husband.

Nelly Larson grew up on a farm, and she loves everything about it. She loves the life so much, in fact, that she got her own homestead. The last thing she wants is to be strapped to one of the men in town who think her place is in the kitchen. She's going to keep her independence, and keeping her independence will require her to avoid marriage at all costs.

Nelly's sisters, however, can't believe Nelly will truly be happy if she doesn't get married. Romance, after all, is one of life's most wonderful experiences. When they come upon Valentine's ad, they know he'll be perfect for her. So they take matters into their own hands and answer his ad on Nelly's behalf.
