Sometimes it is advice from above, in the voice of a stranger that offers the wisdom needed.
Matilda—known as Tillie to her friends—faced a harsh reality after their father’s death. The discovery that their home would be repossessed left Tillie and her sister Lily with no choice but to leave Boston. With no other family to turn to, survival seemed impossible.
Then one day, Lily came home with the Matrimonial Times, shocking Tillie. The thought of marrying strangers was unthinkable!
Ace Buchanan grumbled as the stagecoach approached. He couldn’t fathom why he had been chosen to lead this mission for all six men to wed mail-order brides. Having been betrayed once before, he had no desire to experience such pain again. But when he saw Tillie, she took his breath away.
Both Tillie and Ace, scared and haunted by past wounds, inadvertently hurt each other in their attempts to protect themselves. When Ace’s former fiancée unexpectedly arrived, a detail unknown to Tillie, tensions rise to the breaking point.
A distinguished gentleman’s advice to Tillie—“It’s the little things that matter. Let your husband know you appreciate him. He looks at you and is totally smitten.”—left her astounded.
Can Tillie and Ace overcome their fears and the walls around their hearts to find true happiness together?
