About this listen
Once the fame of love is lit, it cannot be extinguished.
When Genevieve agrees to deliver a package to Quill Gentry, her reception is a shotgun fired at her. She tries again by sending a note mentioning the sender’s name and is gruffly welcomed.
Quill reluctantly takes the offered package. He notices the beautiful messenger has a limp and he can’t hide his sympathy and softens toward her.
A brief relationship begins with Genevieve which gradually draws him from his shell. He even develops a friendship with the town’s preacher.
When Genevieve leaves town suddenly without saying goodbye, Quill is heartbroken. The preacher sends him a mail-order bride to make up for his loss. The very day the gorgeous Lillian arrives, he gets word from Genevieve about her imminent return and her reason for leaving so quickly. Thus, Quill’s quandary.

A pretty, single woman in the Old West where there is a shortage of women would surely cause heads to turn, as well as garner some serious suitors. As soon as Marissa steps off the stage, every man in Hunter’s Grove is mesmerized. Three likely suitors are bold enough to throw their hats in the ring for her attention: Cole, her aunt’s attorney, Alan, her farmer neighbor, and Nash, a neighboring sheep-ranch owner. Since her aunt left an unusual stipulation to her will, Marissa finds herself forced to choose one of them to marry.
