Regina's Replacement: The Reclusive Man Series, Book 5
By Marisa Masterson
Joshua
Gibson had enough courage to save his uncle. He’s not brave enough to show his
face in town after being badly burned in the rescue.
Regina

that had nothing to do with her. After Union troops brought a battle near to
her farm, she grabs at the chance to marry a man in Minnesota. Only, she
discovers the man has never lived in the town where she’s told to go.
A desperate aunt and uncle see this as a God sent opportunity for their hermit
nephew. Will Regina find the love of her life or will she end up with one
more burden to bear?
And what about the man killed at Joshua’s farm the night that he was burned? How will the couple protect themselves when Joshua and Regina have no idea that revenge stalks them?

Audie's Audacious Bride: (Matchmaker's Mix-Up Book 17)
By Kimberly Grist
When disappointed hopes collide – Will a wilting mail-order
bride muster enough resolve to soften a hardened rancher’s heart?
Faith Fairchild is destitute and has no other choice but to comply with her
late father’s last wish—to find a husband through a matchmaking service. As a
pastor’s daughter, she trusts his advice but believes hard work and commitment
combined with a bit of romance will give her the desired goal of “happily
ever after.”
Her application reads, “I’m at my best when surrounded by others. My ideal
husband will live in town. Perhaps a tailor, shopkeeper, or someone running a
diner. I am a hard worker, love to cook and sew, and would love the opportunity
of working side by side as partners.”
Ranch owner Audie Harris has one single goal – to make the family ranch a
success and secure it for future generations. He needs a wife who understands
that the isolation and hard work of cattle farming are necessary to achieve his
goal. With a young sister to raise and numerous ranch hands to feed, his
application for a suitable wife reads, “a woman of robust stock, a good cook,
and willing to produce a houseful of children.”
What does he get? “I asked for a practical woman with
ranch experience, and they send me a Southern Belle who has more petticoats
than she does sense.”
Can this mismatched couple blaze a trail to form a partnership of the romantic
kind?

Pearl: Prairie Roses Collection - Book 16
By Zina Abbott
Man goes to mountaintops to pray. Woman, caring
for hearth and home, stays too busy to climb, so God comes to her.
Because Pearl has no acceptable marriage prospects she considers acceptable,
when her father decides to sell out and join her brothers in Oregon Territory,
she must go, too. Her discontent increases when, not far from South Pass, a
middle-aged widower and self-subscribed preacher with four children—whose wife
recently drowned during a river crossing--walks down from a nearby mountain and
informs Pearl that God decreed she is to marry him.
Pearl has no desire to marry the sanctimonious and overbearing widower. She
reads her Holy Bible. She prays. She diligently strives to honor her father and
bear her burdens with patience, but enough is enough. If God wants to tell
someone whom she should marry, He can tell her. She has no time to climb
mountains. Will God answer the prayers she offers as she performs the tasks of
everyday life?
Michael Stanwyck has no room in his life for marriage and family. After the
death of his father, Michael takes his portion of the inheritance and buys his
own dry goods—enough to fill three freight wagons he’ll accompany to the gold
fields of California. He comes across one brown-haired beauty more than once.
Although curious why she remains unmarried, it is none of his business. Then he
finds her alone on the trail several days past Fort Hall with her family wagon
and a lame ox. He learns her father recently died, and, because she refused to
marry in order for a man take charge of her and her wagon, for the peace and
security of the wagon train, she was ordered to leave.
Can Michael, in good conscience, continue on to California and leave Pearl to
return alone to Fort Hall, where only an uncertain future awaits?

Amity: Prairie Roses Collection - Book 21
By Linda Carroll-Bradd
Amity Grenville is set on reaching Oregon’s Sweet Home
Valley, where her aunt and uncle have a farm. They were part of the Great
Migration of 1843, and Amity saved every letter Aunt Beitris wrote, complete
with advice on the journey preparations. Amity is eager for a fresh start, in
the hopes that her husband, Garvey, will find a new vocation in farming and
leave behind his drinking and gambling ways.
Newly finished with his apprenticeship, blacksmith Shawe Creighton can ply his
trade just about anywhere so he agrees to throw in with his best friend’s
family on the trek to Oregon. With no family ties, he heads west, thinking
Oregon is as good as any place to establish a shop. Fun loving by nature, he’s
also looking forward to what the adventure will bring.
In St Joseph doing last-minute preparations for the journey, Amity receives the
bad news that Garvey was caught cheating and killed over a poker game. Now men
are seeking to claim the wagon and team as their recompense. She barely removes
her belongings in time but is faced with either marrying a stranger to comply
with the wagon train’s rules or remain behind. Taking pity on her plight, Shawe
offers marriage and is immediately faced with her two demands--no drinking or
gambling. Intrigued by the outspoken woman, he figures the trip won’t be
boring. Will a decision made in haste bring disaster, or will the journey forge
bonds neither Amity nor Shawe can imagine?
