Mavis Fischer is getting married. She has yet to meet her intended face to face and doesn't know him save a single phone call and a few photographs. She might be crazy, but for reasons that go far beyond a conventional pursuit.
I studied my husband and his two brothers, three good men who seemed a little intimidating.
Grady Webster is an independently wealthy marketer, and host of a seasonal duck hunting club. He approaches his decision to marry the same way he does business. After doing research, weighing pros and cons, he writes to Mavis Fischer upon a hunting guide’s recommendation, her stepbrother.
Therein, Grady proposes marriage.

I drank my coffee, thankful to be on their good side.

I’d known Tristian for five years. When I told him I was looking to get married, he mentioned Mavis and encouraged me to write to her. From the affectionate way he talked about her, I knew they were close.
It was early yet, but it seemed my investment was paying off.
Like me, she’d done her research.
She approached the whole thing as a business deal, even down to last night. That was fine.
I was used to business.
