Eye of the Beholder

Mary Peters despairs that she will never marry. At nineteen, she has no prospects of finding a husband, so she takes matters into her own hands and becomes a mail-order bride. When she arrives to Omaha, Nebraska to meet the man she's due to marry, he takes one look at her homely appearance and rejects her.

But fate has other plans for Mary. Dave Larson happens to be nearby and thinks she will make a good wife. Though she is stunned that someone as handsome and as kind as Dave would ask her to marry him, she accepts. She knows that this marriage will not bear the fruits of love. Love, after all, is for beautiful women. Isn't it?

Dave and Mary have two other books:
To Have and To Hold - Mary gets amnesia, and Dave takes her to Maine to help her recover her memory.
Forever Yours - Dave falls off a horse and breaks his leg. This is a much more lighthearted romance where we get to see each of Dave's siblings, in addition to an update on Dave and Mary's happily ever after. (This is due out November 2019.)
