Synopsis: Trapped in a loveless marriage, and after her husband’s suicide, Emma decides to become a mail order bride and after finding a rancher, she boards the train headed for California. There’s only one thing on her mind though; the rancher wants a family, and she’s thirty-five.
Emma leaned back into the soft leather seat and closed her eyes as the train pulled slowly away from the station, in May of 1894. She did not take a last look out the window at the bustle of New York City as it faded from view because she knew in her heart she would never go back. The best and worst days of her life had taken place there and the good Lord knew she desperately needed a new start.
Walter’s beautiful face came into her mind - his laughing green eyes crinkling at the corners as he whispered, Emma, my lovely love, I can give you everything. The moon and stars are only trinkets compared to all you shall have if you marry me.
Emma squeezed her eyes closed harder, frustrated that memories of her first husband would be likely to dominate this trip from coast to coast. Walter had literally galloped into her life on a sleek black stallion one hot summer day in late August. She felt her lips turn up at the corners remembering his entrance into her life.
She was nineteen years old, kneeling in her parent’s vegetable garden digging up carrots from the dry soil. Someone is riding too fast, she thought, as she pushed a damp piece of tousled hair off her brow and looked up squinting into the bright sunshine. She tensed as hooves skidded to a halt nearby. A tall broad shouldered man sat quietly upon the panting horse.
Chuckling and tipping his hat, he said smoothly, I am the luckiest of men to discover a perfect wild flower amidst this garden today.
With that, he leapt from his stallion and bowed low with a flourish. Emma scrambled to her feet, and feeling a hot flush begin to burn her cheeks, she realized she was grinning at him like a mindless child.
A long-fingered tan hand reached out to adjust her tattered straw bonnet as she jerkily smoothed down her dusty cotton dress. She heard him slowly expel his breath, I did not come here to fall in love today, my sweet.
Emma had been raised by her mother to have perfect manners and she curtsied quickly saying I am so sorry sir introductions are in order. My name is Emma Frain of Dearborn Farm. May I ask what brings you here today?
His white teeth glinted in the sun against his tanned skin as he replied seriously for the first time, I am Walter Howard from the Great Bank of New York. The owner of this estate has requested a meeting with me.
She felt her stomach clench tightly in response. She knew what this meant at
