Adam West, a high powered lawyer, gets the shock of his life when he arrives to meet a new client. She’s the wife he hasn’t seen since they separated 10 years ago. Sam Reece doesn’t need the added complication of working with the husband who abandoned her a decade ago. She’s tried hard to put her failed marriage behind her, going back to her maiden name even though they never got divorced. The situation is bad enough as it is, but it seems Adam is the only person who can help.

When uptight missionary Lucy Boyd is injured, her only ride to the hospital 200 miles away is the scary-looking guy who delivers their supplies every two weeks. Not only is he scary, he's obviously quite heathen based on the earring in his ear, the heavy metal music blasting from his truck when he pulls into the compound, and his salty language. Jed Gorman doesn't like people, especially Christians. The last thing he needs is that uptight missionary woman as a passenger.

Running into Amber Neville after 20 years wasn’t on Dr. Jackson Parker’s list of things to do. Amber had been head girl to his head boy, and from what he remembers, she was British, stuck up, and bossy.... But the red-haired beauty she’s grown into leaves him stunned. Newly returned from a job in Canada, Amber remembers Jackson as a brash and rude American - not at all the even-tempered, handsome doctor he's turned out to be. But she can’t get involved, not with the massive burden she bears - a burden that has to remain hidden at all costs.

Publisher's Summary
Patience Callahan is 25 and fast becoming an old maid. But she’s spent most of her life dreaming over romantic European literature and wants a dashing d’Artagnan, not a bookish Bob Cratchit. Alas, the Colorado town of Gilman is chock-full of Cratchits without a d’Artagnan in sight.
Peter Foote, the general store owner, has been in love with Patience for seven years. But every time he’s on the verge of proposing, she cuts him off; he can only imagine on purpose. This time though, dadburn it, he’s going to go through with it. Ring in hand, he’s moments from touching knee to floor, when Patience pulls out a list of mail-order bride advertisements and declares her intention to marry a backwoods stranger, on Christmas Day. Peter has two weeks to change her mind.

Cute story
The plot was cute. Mail order bride stories are fun, especially Christmas stories. Unfortunately the lady who read it left much to be desired. I almost stopped listening. Her inaccurate use of "Patiences" instead of "Patience' " was nerve grinding.
