Eric Johnson has been writing to his mail-order bride for months, and at long last, the day she’s due to arrive has come. Only, the young lady who comes off the stagecoach isn’t at all what he expected. She's homely in appearance, and she has an orphan child with her. However, he is a man of his word, so he's going to marry her. He had enjoyed their correspondence over the past year, after all, and really, initial impressions aren’t everything. But when the preacher pronounces them husband and wife, he finds out she’s the wrong lady. Caroline Benton’s just as shocked as he is, not realizing she’d gotten off at the wrong town and followed the wrong man home. Why, oh why, didn’t she think to ask him his name? Now she and the orphan child she brought with her are stuck in a strange town with a man who’d been waiting for someone else. She can’t imagine he’s at all happy to be paired up with her for the rest of his life. Not only is she rather unattractive, but she doesn't know the first thing about housekeeping. Just what is she supposed to do to convince him it’s not the end of the world that he married the wrong mail-order bride?

In some parts of the Deep South, a full economic recovery has not yet occurred even fifteen years after the end of the War Between the States. Thus, Annabel Coleman has been shipped off by her father to marry a man she has never met—Jesse Falcon—in a state she has never visited—Colorado. Arriving with her will be her childhood friend, Gisela Craig. Not only for companionship, but because no true lady ever travels alone. The two look enough alike to be sisters: both blessed with a creamy southern belle complexion, buttercup-colored hair, and greenish-gold eyes. The difference lies in their personalities. Annabel seems remote and standoffish, capable but cool; while perky Gisela captures hearts and loyalties everywhere. But Annabel, for a number of reasons, doesn’t want to get married. So she persuades (coerces) a reluctant Gisela to take her place. Thus, Annabel becomes Gisela; Gisela becomes Annabel. Trying to keep themselves straight, not to mention keeping straight the stories they tell the Falcon family members, leads to confusion, mix-ups, and remorse. When Gisela falls flat-out in love with Annabel’s intended, and moves ahead with wedding plans, Annabel realizes there is no place for her here on the Cottonwood Ranch. Trying to decide where her destination might be, and what she can do to support herself once there, poses a dilemma. But not as much of a dilemma as the fact that Samuel Falcon, younger brother of Jesse, has gotten involved in the whole muddle. Because Sam, who is, courtesy of patriarch Charlie, already betrothed to a mail order bride from Missouri, has decided he prefers Gisela Craig (actually Annabel Coleman) instead.

Ethan Cruz should be mending fences on his Montana ranch, but instead he's driving to the Chance Creek, Montana, airport - to pick up the bride he didn't know he had. This latest salvo in his ongoing practical joke battle with his best friend, Rob Matheson, has gone too far, and Ethan plans to send his "bride" right back home, then get busy plotting his revenge. One look at Autumn Leeds changes his mind, however. Perhaps he needs a bride, after all. A breathtakingly beautiful city bride. Autumn Leeds needs a story - fast - or she's going to lose her lucrative contract with CityPretty Magazine, so when she sees the crazy video plea for a modern mail-order bride for a cowboy, it sounds like the story of the century. Making a video of her own, she casts herself as the perfect mail-order bride for a rancher, but when she finally reaches Montana, she's surprised to find Ethan's the perfect cowboy husband-to-be. Against her better judgment, her plan to keep her handsome groom at arm's length disintegrates into a night of passion spent in his arms. Ethan knows he can't keep playing this game - he has to come clean with Autumn and tell her the truth; about the practical joke and about the state of his ranch. He's about to lose it all because of the debts his mother racked up before his parents' deaths. Now his sister, Claire, wants to sell the ranch and collect what little money they can. He'll be out of a home and a job, and in no shape to support the bride he desperately wants to marry, after all. Autumn's in bigger trouble than ever. Not only has she fallen in love with the subject of her expose - she might be carrying his child. If she doesn't write this article and secure her contract for another year, she'll lose everything - her career, her apartment, and more importantly, her family's approval. The only alternative is to stay and marry Ethan. But how can she trust a man she's just met when she knows too well that men always let you down? Can a love based on lies last?
