When Myrtle Banks leaves Beckham, Massachusetts, for Alaska to be a mail-order bride, she decides to have three friends, who are also going to the same Alaskan town, travel with her.
To her, it’s the logical thing to do. Unfortunately, she doesn’t think to send a letter to her future husband to let him know she’s bringing along friends.
Aaron Fielding is immediately attracted to Myrtle when they meet in Skagway, Alaska, but he is very annoyed that she’s brought friends with her without consulting him.
They had to travel for a month by foot and rowboat to get to the small town he lived in. Now he would have four women to watch over and feed instead of the one he’d planned on.
Once they finally arrive in Yeti, Alaska, he is able to be alone with his bride, as her three friends all marry the evening of their arrival.
It doesn’t take Aaron long to realize he is married to a fabulous cook and baker, who has dreams of opening a bakery there in Yeti.
He worries that she will be dismissive of his opinions on things because of the way she arrived with her friends. Will the two of them find common ground along the way?
Or will they spend their lives in a loveless marriage?
