No Longer Alone

Alexa Caldwell had been born to wealth and status, but raucous living and poor choices by her father brought her and her mother to financial ruin, and eventually death for the delicate Martha Caldwell. Alone, destitute Alexa had no choice but agree to become a mail-order-bride and head to the far western reaches of the country, Montana. There a man waited for her to cook, clean, birth and rear children, sew, iron and a plethera of other domestic chores she had no idea how to do. Oh, well. She would just have to fake it til she made it. What she didn't expect was to meet her future brother-in-law at the train depot and find wild, uncontrollable, lustful desires welling up within her for the ruggedly good-looking cowboy. When she did meet her groom, she found him as sweet and charming as his brother Britt was disarmingly dark and brooding. There was another surprise awaiting her, a child of seven who had been without a mother most of her life. Knowing nothing about children Alexa was distressed at this latest development. Nothing cowardly about her,she plunged into her new life headlong. In time her feelings for Britt cooled and her love for Cam grew. Everything seemed ideal, almost too good to be true, and when it does it usually is.
