Helena

Mail-order bride Helena Grayson thought she was finally stepping into a new life when she married a man she had only known through letters. But just twenty minutes into her marriage, a stray bullet shatters her future, leaving her widowed and alone. Now, Helena is faced with the grim task of delivering her deceased husband's body back to his family and starting all over again—becoming a mail-order bride once more. It's the only way to escape the clutches of her controlling cousin and secure her safety. When she arrives at the Grayson ranch, Helena is met with unexpected kindness from her late husband's family. They embrace her like one of their own—except for Owen Grayson, the eldest brother. Brooding and distant, Owen is determined to make things difficult for her. As Helena struggles to find a new husband, Owen's presence becomes more than just an obstacle. His teasing words and smoldering looks begin to stir something deeper in her heart. But can Helena afford to fall for the man who seems bent on keeping her at arm's length?
