The Love of Low Valley #4
A Secretive Mail Order Widow For The Humorous Rancher
A kindhearted widow with a surprise, a gentle ranch hand with a sense of humor, and an obsessive madwoman who can't let go…
Nancy Simpson was living her dream, until her husband was suddenly killed in a bank robbery and his parents prove to be less than caring towards her. Left with very few options, she decides to answer a mail-order bride ad. Upon her arrival in Low Valley, Nan falls in love not only with the man who placed the ad, but also the town itself. Having only known him a short time when problems arise, Nan is unsure if she can trust what Ben's response will be, especially since she hadn't even told him of her previous marriage.
The quiet young woman is taken aback by the vehement Beatrice's visit to her cottage, and her insistence that Ben Connelly belongs to her. After taking a few days to herself to work through the emotions of yet another surprise, Nan takes a chance and decides to trust her instincts, and Ben with the secrets she carries. When she finally gets the courage to explain the situation, the results are not what she expected, yet exactly what she hoped for.
A courageous man
Ben Connelly has risen to be just under the foremen on the job and has the respect of those around him, yet he is still unable to find what he wants the most...a woman to spend the rest of his life with. When a friend suggests to place an ad in the newspapers back east for a mail-order bride, Ben decides to give it a try. After receiving several responses at once to his ad, he is immediately drawn to the letter penned by Nancy Simpson. However, Beatrice, a maid in the main house, believes that he belongs with her and becomes violent in her obsession.
When Nancy gets sick just after moving to Low Valley, one of his friends suggest she may be pregnant. Choosing to trust her honesty, Ben decides to trust Nan to tell him the truth. When Logan Mason warns Ben to be careful with Nan's safety, he decides to trust her with his suspicions and hopes she decides to finally open up to him as well.
Safety in Love
Now that Ben and Nan have finally opened up fully to each other, the violence of Bee's attacks escalates. Ben must put himself in harms way to protect Nan, and convince Bee that he is not hers once and for all. Nan has to trust in Ben's ability to diffuse a dangerous confrontation, before it can turn deadly. For a woman with a secret and a man with an obsessive stalker, life will not be easy – and danger is around every bend!
Can Nan open up her heart and trust Ben with her past – and her future? Or will she be forced to return to Georgia – and homelessness?
"A Secretive Mail Order Widow For The Humorous Rancher" is a standalone historical Western romance novel of approximately 60,000 words. No cliffhangers, pure content and an awesome happily ever after, guaranteed to ignite your imagination in one sitting.

Elliee Atkinson with A Secretive Mail Order Widow for the Humorous Rancher did it again! I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it! When Nan lost her husband in a bank holdup when he saved a fellow worker her in-laws told her she had a month to get out of the house that her and her husband shared. With no where to go she answered a ad in the paper for a mail order bride and that led her on a journey she would be thankful the rest of her life. Ben was lonely and decided to put an ad in the paper for a mail order bride, little did he know of what would happen next. The ‘happen next’ is what keeps you reading. You begin to see what will develop with a crazy lady and some other unexpected developments, but actually finding how the how is what keeps you reading! I recommend this book for an evening (or day) of enjoyable reading.

I look forward to reading a book by Elliee Atkinson and this book was exactly what I needed. I’m still surprised how families can behave when bad things happen. Unfortunately, Nancy Simpson’s in-laws were among the worse. Then I’m also surprised at how accepting some people are and the folks of the Mason Ranch prove that there really are more good people than bad in the world, with a few exceptions. This book has humor, romance, intrigue, all combined in an interesting story. You will enjoy this book.

Ben and Nan
This is an exciting and adventurous, yet sweet love story. Elliee Atkinson wrote this tale and she did an excellent job on the plot and the characters, both reoccurring and new ones. Elliee wrote this four book series and I have enjoyed each and every one of them. I believe you will too.

There is always hope - no matter the circumstances!
Women had it tough and yet the tough women were also smart and level headed. There is always hope and always love.
