Tied by a Thread

Annabelle Crawford never expected to marry a man she'd never met, but with nowhere else to turn, she answers a mail-order bride ad and heads west. Calder Briggs, a rugged cattle rancher with scars of his own, needs a wife-not for love, but for the promise of a better future. Married the moment they meet and bound by necessity, Annabelle and Calder must navigate trust, survival, and a growing affection neither of them planned.
On a dusty Texas ranch, under endless skies, two strangers will discover whether a thread of hope can truly tie hearts together.
