Tired of worrying about who to leave the ranch to when they were gone. Luke could imagine the perfect wife—biddable, tidy and willing—and when he saw Eleanor Williams in church one Sunday, he thought she'd do just fine. But little did he knew that the practical Eleanor had a mind of her own—and other ideas about marriage!
