Mail-Order Bride Runaway

Della Epps longs for a life beyond the ordinary. Before his death, she promised her father she would one day pursue his dream of traveling through Europe and seeing the world. But first, she is determined to ensure her widowed mother is secure and cared for-even if that means helping arrange a mail-order marriage out west.

Traveling to Montana to meet the prospective groom on her mother's behalf, Della quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. The man is cruel, dangerous, and nothing like he claimed to be. Fearing for their safety, Della escapes before she and her mother become trapped in his grasp.

While fleeing, Della hides in the wagon of mountain man Andy Shannon, unintentionally dragging him into a whirlwind of danger, pursuit, and unexpected adventure.

Andy has no interest in settling down. Independent and restless, he prefers the solitude of the mountains and dreams of exploring the world on his own terms. Marriage is the last thing on his mind. But when he discovers the spirited young woman hiding in his wagon, his carefully ordered life is thrown into chaos.

As they journey together through the rugged Montana wilderness, sparks begin to grow between the adventurous Della and the fiercely independent Andy. Yet both resist the idea of love and commitment, convinced marriage would only destroy the freedom they each value so deeply.

At its heart, the story is an adventurous frontier romance filled with danger, escape, humor, and emotional discovery, as two reluctant hearts learn that sometimes love leads to the greatest adventure of all.
