Mail-Order Temptress — Jane Kidder

SHE COULDN'T DENY HIM
Forced by poverty into seeking marriage to a complete stranger in faraway Minnesota, mail-order bride Kirsten Lundgren tried to set aside her apprehensions about being a frontier wife. How hard could it be to milk a cow or two and feed some chickens, especially if she were to find the love and romance she'd always craved? Then she arrived ... and saw the farm: several thousand acres of dirt, a plow, and pigs! She'd just have to explain to Mr. Eric Wellesley that she'd changed her mind. But when she looked into his brown eyes and felt his rich deep voice flow over her like warm honey, Kirsten's resolve melted. And when he drew her into his arms and claimed her lips in a long, deep kiss, she knew she must surrender to one night of ecstasy before she made up her mind about marriage ... one way or the other.

HE COULDN'T RESIST HER
Handsome homesteader Eric Wellesley was having second thoughts. Why had he gotten involved in this mad scheme? A strong, strapping Scandinavian girl to cook his meals, plow his fields, and warm his bed had seemed like the perfect answer to his problems, but now he was getting cold feet. He'd apologize to Miss Lundgren and offer to pay her way back home. But when he drove his wagon to the depot and spied the delicate, enchantingly beautiful redhead who'd come to claim him, his desires got the better of him. Before he sent her packing he'd taste her rosy lips, savor the satiny feel of her sensuous curves, and sample her caresses in a firestorm of rapture ... just for one long, Minnesota night!
