Publisher's Synopsis
Rosemary Archer is tired of just gathering eggs and milking cows. She wants to follow in her sister Meg's footsteps and explore beyond Archer Ranch to try something new. When a new headmaster arrives in Tombstone, a position as a student teacher opens up and seems ideal to Rose-if she can get her father to agree. Meg won him over, so hopefully she can, too. Michael Tate, the new headmaster, is new to Tombstone and looking forward to the challenge of creating a larger school for the increasing number of children. He is excited about his new role and gets started. When a new school committee is elected, Michael learns that there is a new stipulation to his continued employment-he must take a wife. Michael is frantic to keep his position and advertises for a mail order bride, sure that is the only solution. But as Rose and Michael work closely together as he waits for his mail order bride to arrive, he begins to wonder-is marrying a stranger his only option?
