Iโm so excited to launch the first book of
Outlaw Mail Order Brides,ย
THE OUTLAWโS MAIL ORDER BRIDE.
ย Iโve wanted to tell these stories ever since I wrote Tally Shannon and her band of fugitive
women into
To Love a Texas
Ranger (
Men of Legend,ย Book
#1).ย
Tally Shannonโs stepmother put her into an asylum to get rid
of her following the death of her father. A year later she escapes along with other women in
the same situation and they take refuge in Deliverance Canyon. Each wears a tattoo on her
cheek, put there by the warden for identifying purposes which makes going into town
impossible. In addition, Tally has a price on her head. The warden is desperate to get her back.
After a year of living in hiding, Tally yearns for a better life
for her and her women. Luke Legend and his wife Josie have started a private bride service for
people like her who are living in the shadows and she starts corresponding with outlaw Clay
Colby.
Only another fugitive will know what itโs like to be hunted.
Clay is also desperate for change and has decided to make a
town out of the hideout where heโs been living with other outlaws who also want to improve
their situation. But they need wives to help them bring the hideout from the darkness and
children to give their lives meaning.
Months of soul-searching finds Tally ready to take the
plunge and trust that Clay and his friends can offer her the safety and security she requires.
So she agrees to marry him.
Their marriage is anything but certain. Having been the
protector of her band of women, Tally finds it very difficult to give up her role and trust Clay
with her life. Although their path to a happily ever after is anything but smooth, they stick it
out and work through their problems.

In Book #2,
Saving the Mail Order Bride which will be out April 30, Nora Kane is running
from the head of the Irish mob whoโd kept her prisoner since she was fourteen. Sheโs seen
what heโs capable of and fears sheโll soon be killed if she doesnโt escape.
Through a secretive friend, Nora finds out about Luke
Legendโs bride service and begins writing to an outlaw named Jack Bowdre. After several
letters she sees that he really is the solution and makes her escape, praying that sheโs not
followed.
Texas is decidedly different from Buffalo, New York and
everything is foreign to her. But in Jackโs arms, she finds safety and comfort as they embark
on a run for their lives, afoot in early spring with a little snow on the ground.
Nora discovers a man whoโll put his life on the line for her
and a deep love that blossoms between them.
I hope youโre not afraid of snakes!

Book #3 of the series has no title yet and will release early
2020. Outlaw Tait Trinity unexpectedly finds himself the sole guardian of his sisterโs three
childrenโeleven-year-old twin boys and a three-year-old girl. How in Godโs name can he raise
these kids while being hunted? Jack Bowdreโs advice is to get married fast. So through Luke
Legendโs private bride service, he hits pay dirt and Melanie Dunbar arrives.
But is she what she claims? Although he has doubts, he
settles into marriage with her and over time begins to open his heart.
Melanie is keeping secretsโones that will get her killed. She
finds herself mired in deception and blackmail while she discovers sheโs grown very fond of
the childrenโplus has fallen head over heels in love with Tait.
This story has more twists and turns than a dogโs hind leg
and just when you get comfortable, watch out!

If you like tough, desperate women who can go the extra
mile, I think youโll find this series to your liking. I hope you give
THE OUTLAWโS MAIL ORDER BRIDE a
chance on Jan. 29th and continue on with each of the four. ย ย

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.
