Saving the Groom from Himself Susannah Calloway

Josephine Brooks doesn't want to get married; she wants to be a nun. Orphaned at an early age, Josephine was raised by nuns, especially the maternal Sister Agnes. She's only known the innocent, sheltered life of the Church, and she can't imagine any other way of living. Ned Connor is a widower whose wife and baby died two years ago; along with them, his spirit died as well. He runs a large ranch in Montana, but even that doesn't bring his heart back to life. His mother and best friend are worried about him. They hatch a plan to place an advertisement for someone to help him. It just happens to be in the Mail Order Bride section, even though it doesn't mention marriage. When Sister Agnes spots the advert, she immediately thinks of Josephine. This would be the perfect way to expose Josephine to her options and to see some of the world. Now all Agnes has to do is talk Josephine into doing her Christian duty with this grieving man. But Ned has other ideas-ideas that include a bottle instead of a woman.
