The Look-Alike Groom (Mail Order Brides of Culver's Creek) by Susannah Calloway (Tica House Publishing LLC) (301 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Liliana Elison lives a life of tragedy. Her only love died young; taken from her before they had even married. A romantic at heart, she truly believes she will never be able to move past her tragic past and find love again. Her guardian, Aunt Hester, has other notions. Ruthlessly puncturing Lili's romantic ideals, Aunt Hester signs her up with a matrimonial agency, and before Lili knows it, she's a Mail Order Bride for a rancher in Culver's Creek, Colorado. Orpheus Miller is fifteen years her senior and has a past of his own. He's not afraid of love, but he's more than a little skeptical it will ever appear. When he discovers his fiancée is cherishing memories of her long-lost love, his bitterness seems well-founded - except Lili is becoming more and more attracted to Orpheus by the day. Neither Lili nor Orph are ready to fall in love - but love, it seems, has its own ideas.
