Moving on from the scandal surrounding her marriage, widowed Colleen Whittaker is eager to begin a new life as a mail-order bride in the small town of Cottage Gate, Oregon. The fact that her intended groom was willing to agree to her two requests gives her hope that she's chosen wisely.
Nicolas (Nic) Bradley is more than willing to acquiesce to his intended's demands. He's not sure why she needs a separate room on the main floor to decorate as she sees fit, but he agrees as part of their marital contract. The second demand is easier to understand, and one he's willing to accept… for a short period of time anyway. No marital relations until they get to know one another better.
Colleen arrives in Cottage Gate with boxes and boxes of books, surprising not just Nic but other members of the close-knit community, earning her the nickname of 'the woman who reads too much'. Will Nic agree to support Colleen's desire to turn an empty storefront on the main street of town into a library?
Can his new bride convince him she can be both a working librarian and a wife at the same time? Or will her desire to have more than just a home, and possibly a family, be a demand gone too far?
