Francine "Frankie" Weston is an independent woman. She moved to Idaho to homestead with her older brother at the tender age of seventeen, pretending to be a man. Now, at twenty, she's ready to marry, but she doesn't want to admit she's deceived everyone, so she sends for a mail order groom-one who's willing to take her last name. She doesn't think it's possible, but she's willing to wait for just the right man to make her happy.
Wallace Miller, a former member of the demon horde, feels like his life is going nowhere. His reputation as a troublemaker has followed him into adulthood, and he can't seem to catch a break. When his older sister, Elizabeth, shows him a letter from a woman wanting a man to marry, he's shocked before he sees the potential of the situation. Meeting his pants-wearing independent bride comes as a bit of a shock. Will the two of them be able to come to a compromise about how a lady should act? Or will they be destined to be partners in life, but never partners in love?
