A Journey for Lona: The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride - book 10
Newly
accredited teacher Lona Hollis joins a westward wagon train with her two
cousins. The three young adults are moving to Portland, Oregon, to join the
rest of the family where Lona’s uncle runs a shipping business. They connect
with a small group of twenty-five wagons, but the original captain becomes ill.
An appointed leader acquires a new captain who demands all women over age
sixteen be married. Such marriages are for convenience and safety only with the
option of being annulled when the wagon train arrives in Oregon. Faced with
several possibilities, Lona has to make a decision on who will make the best
partner…within an hour of meeting him.
Laborer Mal MacMurphy needs to move out of New York City. Hanging out with the
Irish mob favored by his da and brothers is not healthy. Cousin Sully just died
in a knife fight. To make a new start, Mal works his way west on the railroad
and joins a wagon train heading on the Oregon Trail. But he has to offer
himself in marriage so a single woman can continue the trip. Unfortunately,
he’s matched with a woman who has a widely different outlook on life. Will the
perils they face convince the couple of an inevitable split or force them to
rely on each other to stay alive?

Jocelyn's Wedding Dilemma: The Matchmaker and the Mother-in-Law
Jocelyn not only came to the realization
that she reached the age of bordering on being a spinster, she also recognized
why the local men did not choose to court her. She knew it was not because her
looks or personality repelled men. She could sum it up in one word—Mama. Mama
had always been opinionated and eager to tell others the best way to do things,
but her tendency to insert herself into other people’s lives had grown ever
since Papa died. Jocelyn knew, if she wished to find a husband, she needed the
help of a matchmaker, an out-of-town address, and a lot of subterfuge.
City born and educated Kent had
chosen well when he purchased his remote ranch, hired his drovers, and worked
his cattle. The one thing the region lacked was decent marriage prospects.
After resorting to hiring a matchmaker service, and wading through letters from
several women, he finally found a correspondent whose letter caught his
interest. In spite of his impression she held something back, he sent the funds
for her to join him for the purpose of marriage. After Jocelyn arrived,
everything about her pleased him. Little did he know what would follow—or, more
to the point—who.
