Our authors have been busy writing and publishing books this past month. Here is what we published in May:
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?

After seeing her mother die in childbirth, Rosabelle Ardmore decides to become a doctor. Her self-funded education takes longer than she’d hoped. When she returns to the job promised upon her graduation, she discovers the hometown doctor has died. His replacement has no use for a female doctor. Nor do two other offices where she applied. Rosie takes a chance on answering an ad for a mail-order bride for a man intent on the Cherokee Strip Land Run. Surely, people populating a new town will accept medical care wherever they can get it.
Beck Shepherd returned empty-handed from the 1889 Oklahoma land run. Trying it alone didn’t work. He vows to win a plot this time, but he needs a partner to achieve his dream of opening a mercantile. The easiest way is to arrange for a wife so he places an ad in a matrimonial newsletter. Ideally, level-headed Beck would like more time to decide, but Rosie’s two letters reveal the heart of a woman as determined as he is for a new start. But her bold plan for securing a claim might be the act that tears them apart…forever.

Some people come into your life as lessons…
Unexpected fatherhood finds former bank detective, Lucas Harmon desperate for a

housekeeper…maybe? A wife…definitely not! Six years ago the wealthy Chicago
socialite he planned to wed, publicly spurned his affections. Despite his
determination to guard his feelings, a meddling matchmaking conductor and an
encounter with a past acquaintance threatens to upend his heart.
…some come as blessings
Anxious to leave behind the whispers and stares of two failed engagements,
Boston socialite, Ainsley MacKenzie hopes for solitude on her way to New Hope,
Kansas. But when the kindly conductor enlists her help to care for two orphaned
girls, she couldn’t say no. Little did she know their uncle and guardian was
the one man she couldn’t forget… Lucas Harmon.
Taking a chance, Ainsley offers Lucas an unusual (some might say, scandalous!)
arrangement. She’ll look after the children, read them stories and cook their
meals until Christmas, giving Lucas time to find a permanent replacement. Yet,
the longer she cares for the family the more she longs to be part of
it—whatever the risk to her heart.
