Sweet western romance. Short Story. Elsie Mae Burk arrived in Blister Flatts to meet her future husband. Before she could disembark from the train, an old man held her up at gunpoint, and forced her to go with him. Scared and helpless to escape, she tried to be brave, but worried the old man was the man who was to wed her. The next morning, to her surprise, she found out the old man had brought her to his grandson for him to wed her, but Blake Dillon was dead set against marriage. Blake Dillon was at a loss as what to do with the mail order bride his grandpa went behind his back and brought home to marry him. He didn’t want to get married and was madder than a hornet that his grandpa had such a crazy idea. He had to make things right for the woman who had nowhere to go and offered to let her stay in his home until she could find a mail order husband or somewhere else to stay. He just had to fight his attraction to her and keep his mind on remaining a bachelor.
