Bride For Cody

Orlena Worth agrees to be the mail order bride of a man in Montana Territory. Complications arise for her when her Great-Uncle Ambrose rescues a two-year-old from the men who killed the child's parents. The killers are searching for the child, heir to a fortune, so Ambrose and the boy have to leave town immediately. Orlena brings them with her, but wonders what she'll do if her groom refuses to accept all three of them. She doesn't have the money to go back to her former home-even if it were safe for them to return.Cody Tabor gave specific instructions to the matchmaker. He asked for a refined woman of good breeding, preferably a petite blond who prefers to let her husband guide her decisions. Orlena not only turns out to be the opposite, she's brought a great-uncle and a small child. Cody can't decide how to react. His conscience won't allow him to reject her as he'd prefer, yet he isn't certain this is the woman for him. Cody suggests they wait a month to consummate their marriage so that they qualify for an annulment if they wish. Orlena is insulted, but agrees to the month's trial period so she has a chance to make alternative plans. As he feared, his life is turned upside down. She insists that in his case, that isn't a bad thing. When the men who want the little boy dead arrive, Cody is forced to defend his family. But can he accept them into his life?
