Back cover reads:
Bride for sale!
In just four days, Rena will marry Ford Harlow. Just imagining the ceremony fills her with intense excitement--and trepidation! It won't be an ordinary wedding. Their union is a marraige deal: Ford wants her property; Rena will do anything to keep it...
But if Rena is expecting a marriage of convenience--sharing their lives but never a bed--she has a shock in store. Ford has long been intrigued by his shy bride, and he fully intends to be a husband in every sense of the word!

This review is from: Marriage On Demand (Contract Brides) (Harlequin Large Print (Numbered Paperback)) (Paperback)

Keep the tissues handy. Rena Lambert is treated badly by her father Abner, because she has been lead to believe her birth caused her mother's death.
Abner tells her because her being a male daughter she can't get a husband, so he gets one for her, by offering Ford Harlow the ranch, upon (his) Abner's death.
Hurt and confussed Rena packs her things to leave. She has been the only person keeping the people working on her father's ranch, because Abner is more than a little touched in the head, and all the workers know it.
Ford Harlow finds Rena to be beautiful and he has always wanted to get to know shy Rena. But Ford doesn't trust Abner to keep his word, Ford also knows Abner is touched.
Ford and Rena marry, and Abner losses his whipping girl, he soon turns to the bottle, and has a stroke when he is drunk.
After the death of Abner, Rena learns her mother hadn't died in child birth, she had pictures of herself with Rena as a baby. Her Mother left her father, and she took Rena, but Abner kidnapped Rena to force her mother to come back, and when her mother died, Abner no longer needed Rena as a tool to get his wife back.
Rena turns in on herself, but Ford comes to the rescue, and he lets Rena know in no uncertain terms he loves her.
Again Susan Fox writes a winner.
