Today's Blog Tour Tuesday features
Caroline Clemmons and her historical western romance,
Josephine
About Josephine
(Bride Brigade):
Josephine
Nailor is desperate to escape a terrible situation. When the opportunity arises
via a newspaper ad, she and her best friend slip away from their oppressive
fathers and head for Richmond. Neither can relax until they’re far away from
their tiny hometown. With wealthy young widow Lydia Harrison’s help, Josephine
and six other young women have a new life waiting in Tarnation, Texas.
Michael Buchanan is fairly content running his mercantile and being mayor of Tarnation. The town is dusty and tiny, but it’s growing. He believes it holds all he needs to be happy—except a wife. There are no available women in town, but he hopes Lydia Harrison’s Bride Brigade will offer a woman he can wed. He is immediately attracted to Josephine.

Excerpt:
Josephine brushed and pulled back her hair. “At
least we’re clean and neat even if we don’t have fancy clothes.”
Her friend chewed on her lip then met her gaze
in the mirror. “I don’t really want to meet anyone right away.”
She smiled. “Afraid you might end up with
someone like your pa or mine?”
Ophelia shook her head and pulled on her shawl
to cover the stains on her dress. “Oh, no, Lydia won’t invite anyone who isn’t
nice. She promised. I feel as shy as usual and need a little more time to
adjust.”
Josephine tied a ribbon around her neck with her
mother’s locket in the center. “Well, I don’t intend to marry. I want to find a
job and be independent.”
Ophelia stared at her. “You mean you never want
to wed?”
“Can you blame me?”
Her friend’s face filled with concern. “Jo, you
can’t mean it. You’d never have a home and children. Think of your future. Who
will keep you company in the evenings?”
“I’ll get a cat.” She smiled at her shy friend
and they walked into the hall.
