In a Western State of Mind — Doreen Milstead

Jake & Laura's Story is about a lonely California rancher who requests a mail order bride, but considers sending her back when she tells him adamantly that she doesn't want to get married yet -- or ever.

Hiding Out With Her Outlaw Husband & His Mother - A mail ordered bride expects to be met at the railway station by her intended but he's nowhere to be found. She eventually trudges two miles to his home, but is repulsed by both his attitude and appearance, and his gang who are exceptionally seedy. Someone rescues her and as the days pass, and she's holed up in a cabin with him and his ancient crone of a mother, things begin to heat up.
