    About this ebook

    Mail Order Rebecca: A Rancher Gets A Surprise, is a beautiful romance about Nathan, who advertises for his wife but gets... Riding her own horse and dressed in working buckskins, Rebecca shows up at his ranch in California, unannounced, after finding his ad in her newspaper. He begrudgingly lets her stay if she’ll cook them three meals a day and do some other ‘womanly’ chores. This she does not want because she thinks it’s a big waste of her talent. She can hunt and fish and break horses and many other things. Can she love? Only time will tell if these two strong spirits can get along without destroying any chances of a relationship.

      Mail Order Rebecca: A Rancher Gets A Surprise

      By

      Rebecca dismounted and gave Roscoe one of the carrots she'd just traded for. The jet-black steed plucked the vegetable from her fingers deftly with his lips before crunching it heartily.

      There's a good boy, Rebecca crooned, pulling on the animal's forelock. You deserve that.

      The campsite was small but homey. A simple tent sheltered a bedroll. Rebecca set to stoking the smoldering fire and hanging the kettle above the flames to boil. She retrieved the newspaper she'd bought from the saddlebag and unfolded it, glancing at the stories as she waited for her first cup of coffee of the day.

      She had to have the stuff to get her going. Rebecca hadn't planned on a trip to the depot, but the empty coffee bag had propelled her back into civilization.

      Normally, she avoided it.

      There was no one Rebecca liked better than Roscoe. He was a good horse — well behaved when it mattered and spunky at every other moment. She had to laugh as he tried to reach into the saddlebag that had another two carrots in it.

      Let's save those for later, shall we? she suggested, raising a dark eyebrow.

      Roscoe gave up on it and grazed instead as Rebecca continued to peruse the pages, the ink blackening her rough fingers. She skimmed over the stories about fires and thievery, reading another piece about pelt prices a little more closely. Rebecca kept track of the goings on in Idaho in her own way, or not at all.

      The wildness of this place suited her and she bemoaned the fact that she needed people at all. Even worse were the people who continued to arrive near and around her campsite, pulling down trees and pushing up houses.

      It made her itchy and restless.

      At times, Rebecca prayed about what direction to take. Praying and the Bible were things that had held over from earlier in her life. The words in her well-worn Bible never changed, but they still seemed to shift and adapt to lead her through whatever difficulties that sprang up in her life.

      They certainly sprang up often.

      She knew she was no one's ideal woman. She preferred buckskins over dresses, a single braid down her back instead of a complicated coiffeur. Though she pretended not to, she heard what people whispered when her back was turned. She was a wild woman, untamed, even uncivilized.

      Rebecca would like to think that she could figure out how to comport herself in polite company should she ever be so unlucky to have to deal with some.

      This was how Rebecca loved to live. The sky out here was as big as God himself, the mountains and trees an affirmation of his love. A roof made her feel like she was smothering. A town was even worse.

      The sweet
