"Mail-order Brides Wanted in Sunflower, Texas" read the notice on the telegram office wall in Leesville, Texas. Because of the fire in Leesville, Eleanor Eddy finds her substitute teaching job over, her rooming house burned to the ground, and her money stolen. Under no circumstances will Miss Eddy consider traveling to Sunflower, Texas as a mail-order bride. Instead the wagon-train owners hire her to assist with the brides-to-be. Tate Maynard, the son of the owner, soon learns that his new employee is a city gal who can't do anything right. Everything she touches results in accidents that always seem to involve him. Will he be able to convince this reluctant gal to be a Sunflower bride, although she swore she would never marry? Maybe she'll even marry him, if she doesn't accidentally kill him first.
