Mail Order Muse - Paperback

Keri Bateman had her first book published at eighteen, and from that moment on she was certain her life would be perfect. Years later, Keri is running out of money, and she has not been able to get another book published. She has no desire to move back home with her family because the thirteen younger siblings she'd written about in her first book were all still there, and her mother was pregnant with twins.

When she runs into an old schoolmate, and the woman suggests she go West as a mail-order bride, the idea is much more palatable than living in her family's already overcrowded home.

Harry White has moved West to start a ranch, and it's going very well for him. The only thing missing from his life is a woman who will share his future with him. He writes to find himself a mail-order bride, as that seems the easiest solution.

As the couple marry and get to know one another, he realizes that Keri is so obsessed with her work that sometimes he seems inconsequential.

Will the two of them be able to work through their differences? Or will they each face the future alone?
