Robert Mace has had enough. After watching some of his closest friends find love and happiness with mail-order brides, the fact that his own advertisement is yet to receive a single reply is frustrating, to say the least. But then he finds another advertisement, this time from a woman seeking a husband. Robert just can’t resist his curiosity and so he writes a reply to the listing, eager to know more about this unconventional bride—but is there more to this proposal than it seems?

After the death of her husband destroyed her whole world, Tiffany Downing has abandoned all hope for a happy future for her and her infant son, Lucas. Distraught with grief and unable to find a way to move on from her loss, Tiffany has no intentions of ever marrying again. And yet her wily mother-in-law, Linda, apparently has other plans in store for her.

Tiffany is furious to learn that Linda advertised for a husband on her behalf, but when she reads Robert’s reply, she soon finds herself considering the match—even if she knows she will never love again. As Tiffany, her son, and meddling mother-in-law come to join Robert in his hometown of Birch River, it surprises her to find how well they all seem to fit together. Almost like a family.

But how will Tiffany ever be able to let Robert in and give their relationship a real chance, when she is still burdened by grief?

The Widow’s Mail Order Husband is a heart-warming story of starting over and letting love in. Will Tiffany learn to let go of the past and give her life with Robert a chance? Or will she let the wrong man slip away?
