second chance? Will working day in and day out allow Martha to learn to trust

An
Inventor turned Mail-order Bride
A Professor hoping for love
And one little trip to Clear Creek...
Trinity Thorndyke had a brain. A good
one. So why did men not like her? Just because she accidently blew things up
now and then with her experiments, didn’t mean she wasn’t fit for the marriage mart.
But no man in Boston was interested, and with her uncle running off to
California to get married himself, she’d be alone and in a pickle. Which meant
there was only one thing to do. Become a mail-order bride and hope for the
best.
Granville Peters thought he’d be
happy with a bride that had all her teeth and could hold a decent conversation.
What he got was a beauty with a brain! But was he good enough for her? He
insisted they court and wanted to impress her, so Granville gave her what she
wanted most. A trip to Clear Creek, Oregon to meet the famous Soap King,
Gilbert Snow. Unfortunately, it was obvious she was more interested in meeting
Mr. Snow than getting to know him. Was this a mistake? And what if Granville
lost his heart, only to have her tell him she wasn’t interested? With her looks
and brains, she could do anything in his eyes. Did he even have a chance with
her? Find out as residents of two of Kit Morgan’s famous towns come together in
this fun western romance!

A Child for Christmas: Confederate Widows,
Spinsters, and Proxy Brides
By
Marisa Masterson
A woman desperate to
begin again. A man who longs for connection. Only a baby stands in the way of
their happily ever after.
Charlotte Reynolds lost both her fiancé and her father during the War of
Northern Aggression. She and her sister Esther struggled to hang on to the
family’s home in Alexandria, Virginia. Unfortunately, Esther sacrificed her
virtue to pay the taxes and died as a result.
With no home, her sister's newborn, and the cool weather of winter in the
offing, Charlotte seizes on the chance to marry a man in the West. The only
catch is she must marry him sight unseen in a proxy ceremony. She will face any
obstacle to keep her nephew safe, even marry a Yankee!
Butch Whaley needs a woman’s chatter to get through the winter. The previous
year he nearly went mad spending the season by himself on the land he
homesteaded, land he had gotten free as a veteran of the recent war. He craved
the noise of another person. Everyone knew women talked a lot, so a wife was
guaranteed to end his loneliness.
Only, he wants one without encumbrances. A woman who has never been married
would suit him best. He is working hard to establish his ranch. He did not
intend for stepchildren to inherit it. No, it would not be like what happened
when Pa left his store to his stepson Ike instead of to Butch.
When he risks being caught in a snowstorm to collect his Christmas bride, he is
in for a shock. The woman arrives with a baby she says is hers.
Will Butch honor the promise he made when he signed the proxy form or will he
lose out on future happiness because of past hurt?

A Sleigh Ride For Claire (Sleigh Ride)
By
Jo-Ann Roberts
He was the most stubborn and prideful
man she’d ever met!
She was a busybody who stuck her
nose in his business at every turn!
With Christmas on the horizon,
Claire McAllister has far too much to do to entertain dreams of a husband and
family. Even if she feels inclined to help Lincoln Wyse outwit his three
mischievous young daughters, it's impossible to imagine the handsome widower
seeing her as anything but a scolding schoolteacher.
Even though the pretty
schoolteacher never turned a favorable eye to him, Linc Wyse’s heart skipped a
beat whenever she pinned him with her mesmerizing green eyes. Beautiful or not,
Claire McAllister was a meddling spinster who placed judgments on him and his
family.
Yet, neither one can imagine how a
magical Christmas Eve sleigh ride will open their eyes to love…or how the Lord
will awaken their faith and hope.

with trouble hot on her trail and a child at her side. A man who handles his
Colt revolver like a shootist.
Ginny Maxwell has one child left as

homes where they would be clothed and fed. She could not hope for them to be
loved. Growing up as a foundling, she knew adults rarely wasted affection on
orphans.
While she and the unclaimed orphan
wait for the eastern bound train that would take them back to Chicago, their
lives change with one slash of a shiny knife. A man stabs a lone woman waiting
on the platform. At Ginny's gasp, he realizes she and the little boy have seen
him.
A frantic race to escape begins,
and desperation sends them into the back of a tarp-covered wagon. Hiding there,
she hears the whistle. They missed their train and are stuck with a killer on
their trail.
