Bailey

Bailey McFarland is determined to prove herself as a skilled veterinarian, but when a man from her past suddenly reappears, her well-ordered life is thrown into chaos. Desperate to escape his unsettling presence, she sends a letter to a family friend who runs a matrimonial agency, hoping to become a mail-order bride as quickly as possible. The last thing she wants is to remain under the same roof as her childhood tormentor, Captain Emmett Robinson. But fate has other plans. When Emmett is unexpectedly shot, Bailey finds herself in the impossible position of having to care for the very man she's trying to avoid. Despite her reluctance, her medical expertise means his survival is in her hands. As she tends to his wounds, Bailey realizes she's not only in danger of losing her heart, but of having it shattered beyond repair. The clock is ticking, and she can only hope her family friend hurries with a match—before Emmett heals and her defenses crumble.
