Owen Chapman has dreams as big as the Nebraska sky. What happens when a body turns up on the Chapman ranch and the dead man’s bride comes calling demanding answers?
Owen Chapman’s plans of starting his own horse ranch are finally coming true. With his brothers as his business partners, he knows there is no way to fail. What he didn’t expect was a southern belle to arrive and resurrect a ten-year feud that he thought was finally in the past.
Elenore ‘Ellie’ Brooks longs for marriage, children, adventure and a life out West. When her plans change, she answers an advertisement for a mail order bride. But when she arrives in Flat River, Nebraska nothing is as she imagined and she finds herself pushed off on a local family until she can return home. What she didn’t count on was the broody oldest brother and the way he made her question her choices in life.
Can Ellie convince Owen not to send her back home on the next stage leaving town? Will Owen be able to let her go when the dead man's brother comes calling, hoping for Ellie’s hand in marriage?
This book was originally titled OWEN and released as part of the series called The Chapmans. It has been retitled and incorporated into the First Families of Flat River so the series may be expanded and include many new stories for you to enjoy, not just limiting it to one family. Nothing else has changed from when it was originally published.
