Daniel and Luke McLain decided that one of them just had to marry - they were fed up with cooking for themselves, their house was filthy, and if something happened to both of them they had no heirs to whom they could leave their ranch. The only problem was, neither of them wanted to be married! To decide who had to pick a wife, the brothers drew straws - and Luke McLain drew the short straw.
Luke McLain didn't demand too much in a wife. He just wanted someone who was somewhat pretty, had a calm demeanor, wasn't afraid of hard work, would do what he said, and could give him the sons he wanted. The tall, rugged cowboy thought that it couldn't be TOO hard to find a woman with those qualities. Nevermind that the preacher in town told him that you couldn't look for a wife the way one would look for a horse - Luke thought he didn't need a love match, even though his parents had had one. So when he met shy, sweet Eleanor Williams, he thought he had found the perfect candidate for the new Mrs. Luke McLain.
Eleanor was fast reaching the age of spinsterhood, as her cruel younger cousin reminded her. Eleanor secretly dreamed of a love match, but she knew that she had to be practical about marriage. Practical, however, was the last thing on her mind when she caught sight of the handsome McLains, especially Luke. She was certain that he would never show any interest in her, though...until he proposed a marriage of convenience!
