Gerald Smith, on the advice of his well-meaning neighbors, has decided it’s time to change his lonely existence.
Mary Hill, on the advice of her empty pocketbook and non-existent roof over her head, has decided it’s time to secure herself a future.
A mail-order marriage, they both realize, is no guarantee of happiness, but it is a risk they are willing to take.
However, coming face to face on the train platform, the hapless couple discovers an unexpected truth: marriage to a perfect stranger is sometimes far preferable to the prospect of a lifetime with someone you used to know.
Originally published in Timeless Romance “Mail Order Bride” anthology but rereleased here in expanded form!
