The Grooms Wayward Half Brother

Life in Rough Creek, Missouri, isn't easy - especially if you're the older brother of the most daring, troublemaking young man in town. Spencer Ludlow has spent his entire life trying to rein in his half-brother Markus, with only middling success. He's willing enough to keep trying, but with the harvest season coming on, he'd like a little help. Besides, he's got something more important to focus on - Tina Webber, a young lady from Boston, who has answered his advert for a Mail Order Bride. Tina became an orphan at a very young age, and the idea of marrying into a loving family is a dream come true. On the other hand, her rambunctious soon-to-be brother-in-law is a bit of a shock - and a bit of a challenge. If only he wasn't so attentive to her, and if only her intended suitor would spend a little more time with her himself. Maybe then she wouldn't be so confused... When gambling debts, kidnapping, and the threat of disinheriting get thrown into the mix, Spencer and Tina have to decide exactly how committed they are to their relationship - and whether life together in Rough Creek is even a possibility.
