All I want is to be left alone in my mountain home, far away from the pitying looks people give me. I didn’t ask for these scars, but they’re a part of my life now—a life I’m destined to live alone.
My younger brother and his new wife are trying to find me a love match. They’re so in love that they want everyone around them to feel the same.
Unfortunately, that life isn’t in the cards for me. I served my country, and I don’t owe anyone anything. But that doesn’t stop the curvy little spitfire who arrives at my doorstep, claiming to be my mail-order bride, from disrupting my quiet life.
I can’t decide whether to keep her or return her to sender.

Signing up to be a mail-order bride was my only act of defiance. I grew up in a loving home, believing I was destined to find and marry the love of my life.
But last month, after my parents were tragically killed in a car accident, my uncle took me in as he was my last living relative. According to my parents’ will, I couldn’t access my inheritance until I turned twenty-five or got married, whichever came first.
My uncle’s greed drove me to desperation. Faced with living under his strict roof for the next five years or marrying a man of his choosing, I chose neither.
Instead, I searched the internet until I found the perfect solution—a modern-day mail-order bride service that matched me with a mountain man within days.
The only problem with my plan was that the mountain man didn’t sign up for a mail-order bride. My only hope is to convince him to keep me and not ship me back to my uncle, return to sender.
He ordered peace and quiet. She’s neither.
