Maggie O’Malley hates her dead-end job at a hotel, but she has no other choice, needing to provide for herself. When she receives a letter from her friend Belle, who has moved to Alaska as a mail-order bride, suggesting she enter a marriage of convenience in the same way, she knows she doesn’t have the courage to do so.

James Hunter sees the love shared between his best friend, Everett, and Everett’s mail-order bride, Belle. He’s alone when he’s not at work, and during the long winter nights. He decides to write a letter to Elizabeth Tandy, requesting a mail-order bride. His finances are tight, but he knows he can support one more person.

When Maggie suddenly loses her job, she decides to see the matchmaker, hoping she will be able to make the journey. Upon meeting James, she realizes he’s a good man, and she’s pleased with the decision she’s made.

After they arrive in Yeti, Alaska, they run into an obstacle that makes both of them reconsider their decision to marry. Maggie is uncertain about whether the long journey to Alaska was worth it. Will they be able to come to a compromise that will satisfy them both?
