When Millie's friend, Berta, elopes instead of fulfilling her obligations to be a mail order bride, she decides to take her friend's place and be the best mail order bride a man has ever seen. Of course, she can't exactly cook, and she enjoys meddling in other people's lives under the guise of "helping them," but surely, her future husband won't mind that.
Connor waits excitedly for his Berta to get off the train in Idaho, knowing that she is the answer to his prayers. She's an excellent cook and a hard worker, just what he needs for his restaurant. He's confused when Millie gets off the train in her place, but he accepts the switch good-naturedly. His bride has married someone else, after all. What could possibly go wrong?

Chapter One
Mildred looked at Berta and shook her head. "What are you going to do? You sent a letter to Connor in Idaho. What are you going to do when he mails your train ticket?" She couldn't believe her friend was going to just not show up for the man who was supposed to be her husband.
Millie had gone with Berta to a mail order bride agency over a month before, but Berta had since changed her mind. Millie was unsure how anyone could do something so selfish, but Berta seemed to think that her happiness was the only thing that was important at all.
Berta shrugged. "I have no idea what to do. How was I supposed to know Harvey would come back and want to marry me?" She raised her hands palm up as if to say she had no choice in the decision she made.
Mil lie couldn't believe how selfish her friend was being. Poor Connor O'Reilly had sent off for a mail order bride, and he should by God have a mail order bride coming to him. "Let's go talk to Elizabeth Miller. Maybe there's time to send him a letter before he sends out your train tickets." She would do whatever she could to make up for her friend's error. She didn't know why, but she'd always felt she should right the wrongs of others. She was good at it, and she hated knowing people were upset with one another.
Berta nodded. "All right, but I have to be home by four. I need to have time to cook Harvey a good supper before he gets home from work." Harvey , Berta's new husband, worked at the hotel Millie's father owned.
Millie thought about everything she knew about Connor O'Reilly, her heart hurting for him. He was an Irish immigrant who had lived in Idaho for five years. He'd worked hard and started his own hotel and restaurant. His letter requested a wife who knew how to cook well so she could help with the restaurant. She couldn't get the poor man out of her mind as they walked toward Elizabeth's home.
Berta could not stop talking about Harvey. "He's so caring and considerate. Why just last night he took off his shoes so he wouldn't trample any more mud on my freshly washed floors. He tried to keep me from having a lot of work." Her voice was filled with love as she talked about the husband she thought was absolutely perfect.
Mil lie shook her head, noting that Berta hadn't said he'd cleaned up the floors he'd already tracked mud on. She'd never been a big fan of Harvey's, but her friend already knew that, and she wasn't going to start a fight by saying
