For those of you waiting for the final book in my Mail-Order
Bride series, Blackthorne's Bride (Josie's story),
you might like to check out a mail-order bride book I wrote
years ago about a Boston widow who travels all the way to
Fort Benton, Montana with her two children titled The
Barefoot Bride. It will be available in stores with a
fabulous new cover on July 15. This book is a favorite of
mine, because it's the story of the Scarlet Pimpernel retold
in the American west. If you love The
Barefoot Bride, you can also read its sequel, Outlaw's
Bride, which is also available wherever books are sold.
From genteel Boston to the wilds of Montana,
she is searching for a safe haven for her family—and
finds unexpected love. Having lost
her beloved husband, a whaling captain, to a watery grave,
Molly Gallagher refuses to risk more heartbreak. Determined
to keep her headstrong son from following in his father's
footsteps, she agrees to become the mail-order bride of a
Montana country doctor. She tells her new husband that she
can never give her love to another man; what she doesn't
tell him is that she has a young daughter and a rebellious
teenage son.
Molly's ruse might have worked,
but Seth Kendrick has secrets of his own: a willful daughter
determined to end the marriage before it even
begins—and a double life keeping his neighbors safe
from outlaws. In an untamed land of vigilante justice, Molly
has no choice but to trust this gray-eyed stranger whose
stubbornness matches her own, whose kisses unleash flash
floods of desire—and who may be the one man in a
million who could win her fiery, faithful heart.
