Four unlikely brides make their way west—and find love where
they least expect it in award-winner Kaki Warner’s
heartwarming series, one “as stellar as her Blood Rose
trilogy…”*
Edwina Ladoux hoped becoming a mail-order bride would be her
way out of the war-torn South, but as soon as she arrives in
Heartbreak Creek, Colorado, and meets her hulking, taciturn
groom, she realizes she’s made a terrible mistake. Declan
Brodie already had one flighty wife who ran off with a
gambler before being killed by Indians. He’s hoping for a
practical farm woman who can corral his four rambunctious
children. Instead, he gets a skinny Southern princess who
doesn’t even know how to cook.
Luckily, Edwina and Declan agreed on a three-month courtship
period, allowing them time to get the proxy marriage
annulled. Yet as the weeks pass, thoughts of annulment turn
into hopes for a real marriage—until the unspeakable
happens, and suddenly Declan is torn between duty and
desire, and Edwina has to fight for the family she’s grown
to love…
