Mary's Improbable Marriage — Debby Mayne

In this post-Civil War historical Christian romance, two apparently mismatched people are thrown together by circumstances neither of them caused.

Mary Hollister never thought she would marry, but after she loses her job as governess for a wealthy family, she winds up being a mail order bride for Lester Packard, a man who moved to Colorado during the Gold Rush. The problem is, Mary isn't drawn to the angry, crusty man she'd married. Is it possible for Lester's heart to soften and Mary to warm up to the rancher who doesn't know how to treat a wife?
