Grooms (Book 9)
By
Zina Abbott
Hal Culpepper had been anxious to leave
the U.S. Army after his enlistment ended. However, when things do not work out
for him joining the family business at home, he decides to return to Fort Keogh
in Montana Territory and try to reenlist. A chance meeting with his former
corporal convinces him to hire on as a guard for the Cheyenne and Black Hills
Stage and Express Company. Between surviving an attack by road agents and
almost being bamboozled by a mail-order bride, he figures he made a lucky
escape. The question he then faces is, what does his future hold? When another
former soldier he served with encourages him to seek a job in Helena, he
decides to go.
Widow Marta Schmidt was ordered by
her brother, who inherited the family farm once their mother died, to leave the
house. With no marriage prospects and her twelve-year-old daughter, Sophia, to
support, she flees to Helena, Montana Territory. There, she joins her cousin,
who owns a restaurant. She hopes he might hire her as a cook. After all, she gave
him her best German cuisine recipes to help him get started. Is there a future
for her and Sophia in a remote German community in the frontier West?

Mail-Order Artist: Hopeful Husbands
By
Linda Carroll-Bradd
Raised on the land of the family’s
vineyard, Pascal Gaspard never took to farming, unlike his older brothers.
Encouraged by his grandmother, he focused on his passion for sketching and
painting. Following his graduation from Académe Julian, he visited an aunt and
uncle in America, further developing his skill. The past two years, he’s
traveled across the country, painting portraits to pay his way and replicating
landscapes to feed his soul. Until he is commissioned to paint a portrait of a
young woman who is so mercurial, his talent is tested.
Rhosyn Caddock will soon turn
twenty-five, and her aunt demands Rhosyn take a more active part in the ranch’s
management. Aunt Gwyneth believes the sheep ranch is Rosyn’s legacy, but Rhosyn
views it as her prison. For now, neither brother shows an interest in returning
home to take on the ranch’s management. She longs to travel away from the
Caddock land and see what the world has to offer, so she submits an ad to a
matrimonial newspaper. A man arrives who she believes has responded to her ad.
When she sees him setting up painting supplies, she realizes something else is
going on. Monsieur Gaspard is actually there to paint her portrait. His accent
identifies him as from a foreign country, and his roster of previous clients
labels him as a traveler. Rhosyn is smitten, but how can she get him to see her
as more than a subject?

Mail-Order Barber: Hopeful Husbands
By
Zina Abbott
Rowena Healy’s happiness over being
reunited with her husband in the gold mining town of Columbia, California, is
short-lived after he is caught in the crossfire of a Saturday night shoot-out
and killed. She soon receives offers—many not honorable, none appealing—from
the women-starved men in town. She must find a way to support herself and her
nine-year-old son, Tobias. The only items of value she now owns are her late
husband’s barber shop and its contents. As part of her plan to save the barber
business for her son to someday inherit, she advertises for a husband of
convenience. The catch? He must have experience as a barber and be willing to
teach her son the trade.
Disillusioned now that most of the
streams have been stripped of their easily panned placer gold, Baird Tucker
knows he must either hire on as a wage-earning miner or find another
occupation. Back east, he had worked as a barber. However, he sold the tools of
his trade to finance his journey to California’s gold fields. A newspaper advertisement
offers a position for a trained barber—including a shop, supplies, and
equipment—in exchange for a marriage of convenience. He is not interested in
marriage—he can barely support himself. Recognizing it might be a fool’s
errand, the temptation to earn his gold by cutting hair and styling facial hair
again is too strong to resist. What does he have to lose by looking into the
matter?

Floree Sequoia Bride : National Park Brides
Book 2
By Linda Carroll-Bradd Due to the impact of
commercial interests on the scenic land that became known as Yosemite, the 38th
United States Congress passed legislation creating the Yosemite Grant, which
President Abraham Lincoln signed into law on June 30, 1864. It was the first
time land was set aside by the U.S. government specifically for preservation
and public use. Although initially Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove were
ceded to California as a state park, this action set a precedent for the 1872
creation of Yellowstone National Park, the nation’s first national park. Over
the years, as more lands were set aside as national parks, these natural
wonders captured the imaginations of those who visited and enjoyed their
beauty. Join several of your favorite authors as we share romances and
adventure set in several of North America’s early national parks.
Artist Floree Percival goes to stay
with the Sampsons, old family friends, in Sequoia National Park. Captain Hank
Sampson serves as park manager and agrees to chaperon her. A student in the
natural science department of University of Southern California, she’s also the
illustrator for her father’s book on the birds of California. But her heart’s
desire is to write and illustrate children’s stories. |
