Mail-Order Bride Novellas

Natalie's Christmas Escape

RELEASES JULY 16, 2025 


Natalie Conrad has spent years helping her uncle arrange matches for brave women willing to travel west as brides. But no matter how many matches she makes, she can never seem to find the right match for one gruff Idaho homesteader—Silas Walsh. The man seems more bear than gentleman, and she refuses to send an unsuspecting young lady into his arms.

Under the guise of having her escort a group of brides west herself, Natalie's uncle sends her to be Silas’s bride. Snowed in with no way home, she’s stuck. While she quickly befriends Silas’s sister-in-law, she remains cold to the man who thought he was getting a wife.

But as the winter days pass, Natalie starts to see something unexpected in Silas. Could the bear of a man actually have a warm heart underneath? When the snow melts, she’ll have to decide—return to the life she’s always known, or risk her heart on a future she never saw coming.

Ginger's Christmas Escape

RELEASES NOV 19, 2025

 

Ginger Evans never expected to become a mail-order bride.
Relieved that her cousin Greta would be the one to uphold their family's alliance with the Spanglers, Ginger is content to remain behind. Greta is better suited for domestic life—quiet, gentle, and eager to please. But when an accident leaves Greta unable to travel and the Spanglers still expecting a bride, Ginger has no choice but to take her place on the westbound train.

Weston Spangler isn’t looking for love—just duty.
He’s spent months exchanging letters with Miss Evans, and while he doesn’t feel affection for the timid girl described in her letters, he’s prepared to make a life with her. But the bold, outspoken woman who steps off the train is not the bride he expected.

With their families depending on them, marriage seems inevitable.
But can two people so utterly mismatched find common ground? Or will pride and personality keep them from ever saying "I do"?

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.
