Book Description
Short-fused Charlie Falcon, owner of the vast Cottonwood Ranch in 1880 Colorado, is at the end of his rope when it comes to his four bachelor sons. Worried that not one of them has shown an interest in marrying, and concerned about the future of his holdings without heirs, he convinces his wife, Miranda, to aid him in a plot used by every culture the world around: mail order brides. The first to arrive is Calla Mackenzie, being matched to attractive but taciturn eldest son, Cody. Calla is a lovely young woman, who has been on her own since the deaths of her parents. That much of her background is hard fact, which she can reveal to her prospective in-laws without a qualm. What she cannot reveal is how she has made her living for some ten years: that of “grifting” or “flimflamming” victims out of their currency via various slightly illegal schemes. While she is busy adjusting to the daily routine of life on a ranch, and to what she had never expected from marriage, Sheriff Nate Burns of Pasto Verde is also busy. Doing his job. Overseeing the townspeople. And collecting Wanted Posters. One of which is printed with a likeness remarkably like Calla’s. With monumental deception on both sides of the family, Calla and Cody are caught in the middle, both with their own set of secrets. Each had just barely begun to trust the other, after a hastily arranged marriage. But, with the bonds suddenly broken, can they ever learn to trust again?

Readers' Favorite 2014 Gold Medal Winner--Historical Romance! Order of books in the Unconventional Series: Abby: Mail Order Bride; Broken Angel; Ryder's Salvation; Joy's Return Brant Samson has fallen on hard times after the death of his beloved wife a year earlier. Left with three children, he's desperate to find a mother for them. Ten year old Jenny does her best to care for two year old Ty, and fourteen year old Luke works the ranch with his father, losing himself in dime novels to ease the pain of his mother's passing. Brant's options are limited since eligible women seldom pass through Two Rivers, much less settle in the small Texas town. In desperation, he places a classified advertisement for a mail order bride. Marrying a woman he'll come to know through a newspaper advertisement scares the bejesus out of him, but at this point, he's out of options. Abigail Mary Vaughn always dreamed of having her own family, but caring for her elderly parents, as well as working as a teacher to help with finances, ended that dream. Her parents are now deceased and she's faced with the reality of her lonely existence. After reading Mr. Samson's advertisement in the Philadelphia Inquirer, she garners enough courage to respond. Since she is considered an old maid at the age of thirty-eight, she'll more than likely spend the remainder of her life wondering "what if" unless she does something unconventional.

Pages : 136
Book Description
Carl Richie’s wife took delight in making him miserable, often reminding him she wished she’d married someone much more deserving. So when she dies, it's no great loss. His problems, however, are far from over. His father left him twenty acres and a stream that most likely has gold in it, but in order for him to keep the property, he must have a child. The last thing Carl wants to do is marry again, but he has no choice. So, with reluctance, he posts a mail-order bride ad. Juliet Gilbert needs to marry someone—and fast. On a whim, she answers the first mail-order bride ad that will take her to a place where her past won’t catch up with her. From the beginning, Carl makes it clear he’s not interested in love. He only wants a child, and then he’ll give her a portion of any gold he finds on his land and leave her alone to do as she wishes. Since love is the least of her concerns, she agrees as long as he never asks about her past. The two strike the bargain, and she comes out to marry him. What neither expects, however, is that bargains are far easier to make than they are to keep.

Kendall Darlington needs to disappear from her messy life. Becoming a mail-order bride sounds close enough to actual time travel to work. What she’s not expecting is to fall, hard, for the beauty of the land and the surprising delight that is Harlan himself. But when her past comes calling, can Kendall trust the future Harlan promises enough to finally stay—with the only man she’s ever loved, in the only place that’s ever felt like home?
