A Journey For Sallie & Daisy's Christmas Escape

After the death of her beloved husband in the War Between the States, Sallie Tenney joins her brother and his family on their journey west to Oregon. Upon arriving in Missouri for the trip, Sallie is shocked to learn she cannot travel as a single, albeit widowed, woman. She must marry to join the wagon train.

With little choice, she agrees to marry fur trader Michael Schmidt on the promise that he will grant her an annulment as soon as they arrive in Oregon. It’s only after they say “I do” that Peter Cardinal arrives for the expedition and catches Sallie’s eye.

When Sallie's new husband Michael vanishes and she's left to defend the wagon and supplies against thieves, she quickly learns that the journey won't be what she anticipated. Especially when Peter is so close and they have a long way still to go.

 Daisy Newhaven is supposed to marry Frederick Hornbriar during the Christmas holidays. He is her father’s pick who is not only older than her own father, but has grown children of his own.

Knowing she could never wed the ogling old man, Daisy answers a letter to become a mail order bride to Henry Goodwin, a blacksmith in Cane Falls, Texas. But when she gets off the train, she finds her Henry in the process of marrying a different bride fresh off the train. Unsure what to do but determined to stay in Texas, she is taken to the local boarding house by the gruff but handsome town marshal, Wesley Prince.

Will Daisy stay in Texas or will she go back home to marry the man her father chose?
