Mail Order Friend - Paperback

Elizabeth Pruitt must get away. She must leave her teaching job in Chicago and return to her small hometown. While looking for another job, she sees an ad from Montana for a mail order bride. Elizabeth responds to the ad, but she does not want to marry. She wants a gentleman friend to escort her around town until she is comfortable on her own. Nathan Morgan is a young rancher trying to build his horse and cattle business. He has not had the time, even to think about marriage. When he reads Elizabeth's response, he surprises himself by saying aloud, "Why not? It's not a commitment. It might be fun to have a young woman to take to a barn dance." But Elizabeth has a secret. Will Nathan find out and take advantage of her?
