I’m a true panster. I don’t outline at all and want my story to unfold through the characters as I go and not through any preconceived plan.

An ideal day is when the story flows through my fingertips and I can easily get 5k words.

THE MAIL ORDER BRIDE'S SECRET by Linda Broday

Outlaw Mail Order Brides #3

The Mail Order Bride's Secret

When the West was wild and man's law favored the few...
These extraordinary women could be found...in the heart of an outlaw.

When three young children show up on outlaw Tait Trinity's doorstep, he knows he can't help them—a wanted man has no business raising kids. And yet he can't bring himself to turn them away. At a loss, he sends for the mail order bride he'd been writing to, hoping the demure dressmaker will be the answer to his prayers.

Melanie Dunbar is nothing like the bride Tait was expecting. She's rough and tumble...and hiding an ulterior motive. Dangerous men have taken her sister hostage, and if Melanie wants to see her alive, she'll have to betray her new husband. There's only one problem—the more time she spends with Tait, the more she comes to care for him. Yet as the noose begins to tighten, Melanie will have to make a terrible choice: save her sister...or the man she loves.

About Linda Broday

Linda Broday

Romancing the West One Story at a Time

Linda Broday is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author and makes her home in the Texas Panhandle on land the American Indian and Comancheros once roamed. She is a multi-published western historical romance author who lives and breathes cowboys and the American West way of life. Here in the panhandle it's very common to see cowboys, they've provided lots of inspiration. There's just something about a man in tight jeans, a Stetson and boots that gets her hot and bothered! Linda grew up watching TV westerns back in their heyday and fell in love with the desperados, lawmen and strong men and women who portrayed the people who settled this wild land that offered so much opportunity for those who wanted to seek it. They taught her the values, the strength it took to survive and the tremendous will to keep going when things got tough. She loves writing stories about similar people who could've lived back then. When Linda is not writing, She's scouring the internet looking for little tidbits to add depth to my stories. She has also been accused, quite unfairly she might add, of haunting museums and libraries. Linda's desire to keep history alive is what drives her and she can't imagine writing anything else.

I can indulge in and get lost in and one that sometimes
better than the real world.

The cowboys, of course! And, the scenery.
(Jamie Gillespie 8:32pm February 5, 2020)

Cowboys are so rugged, tough and manly!
(Tracy Urschler 9:42pm February 7, 2020)

This sounds like a good book for me. Western romances have always appealed to me. There is something about the history that goes along with rugged cowboys and an exciting story that grabs my interest.
(Anna Speed 2:33pm February 8, 2020)

There’s a well-defined line between good and evil. The cowboy hero,
usually a man of few words, is strong. The heroine is usually spunky.
(Sandy Klocinski 5:51pm February 8, 2020)

I love the cowboys!! Thank you!
(Beth Shepherd 7:39pm February 8, 2020)

I love the cowboys. They are so interesting.
(Victoria Kondovski 7:48pm February 8, 2020)

I love me some cowboys.
(Lori Byrd 5:25pm February 9, 2020)

I just love reading about Cowboys and the way they lived. Just love the history about them.
(Heather Amos 2:30pm February 10, 2020)

The openness and wildness of time passed... Stepping back in
time through the storylines.
(Colleen Conklin 8:40pm February 10, 2020)
