Mail-Order Barber: Hopeful Husbands
Rowena Healy’s happiness over being
reunited with her husband in the gold mining town of Columbia, California, is
short-lived after he is caught in the crossfire of a Saturday night shoot-out
and killed. She soon receives offers—many not honorable, none appealing—from
the women-starved men in town. She must find a way to support herself and her
nine-year-old son, Tobias. The only items of value she now owns are her late
husband’s barber shop and its contents. As part of her plan to save the barber
business for her son to someday inherit, she advertises for a husband of
convenience. The catch? He must have experience as a barber and be willing to
teach her son the trade.
Disillusioned now that most of the
streams have been stripped of their easily panned placer gold, Baird Tucker
knows he must either hire on as a wage-earning miner or find another
occupation. Back east, he had worked as a barber. However, he sold the tools of
his trade to finance his journey to California’s gold fields. A newspaper advertisement
offers a position for a trained barber—including a shop, supplies, and
equipment—in exchange for a marriage of convenience. He is not interested in
marriage—he can barely support himself. Recognizing it might be a fool’s
errand, the temptation to earn his gold by cutting hair and styling facial hair
again is too strong to resist. What does he have to lose by looking into the
matter?

Floree Sequoia Bride : National Park Brides Book 2
 Due to the impact of commercial interests on the scenic land that became known as Yosemite, the 38th United States Congress passed legislation creating the Yosemite Grant, which President Abraham Lincoln signed into law on June 30, 1864. It was the first time land was set aside by the U.S. government specifically for preservation and public use. Although initially Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove were ceded to California as a state park, this action set a precedent for the 1872 creation of Yellowstone National Park, the nation’s first national park. Over the years, as more lands were set aside as national parks, these natural wonders captured the imaginations of those who visited and enjoyed their beauty. Join several of your favorite authors as we share romances and adventure set in several of North America’s early national parks. Artist Floree Percival goes to stay with the Sampsons, old family friends, in Sequoia National Park. Captain Hank Sampson serves as park manager and agrees to chaperon her. A student in the natural science department of University of Southern California, she’s also the illustrator for her father’s book on the birds of California. But her heart’s desire is to write and illustrate children’s stories. |

Caroline's Challenge : (Westward Home and Hearts Mail-Order Bride Book 62)
There’s always one risk in life worth taking.
Caroline Stoddard clung to Sister
Benedict’s words like a lifeline as the train took her across the country from
Boston to Pine Ridge, Colorado. After learning the orphanage was closing and
she’d be without a roof over her head and her teaching position, she couldn’t have
been more surprised when the Prioress referred her to Millie Crenshaw, owner of
the Westward Home and Hearts Matrimonial Agency.
But life had another surprise in
store for Caroline when she stepped off the train in Pine Ridge, Colorado.
Instead of the new start she expected with James Murdock, her intended groom,
he is nowhere to be found. With only a few coins to her name and no reason to
return to Boston, she’s determined to make the best of it in this rugged land.
As the deputy sheriff in Pine Ridge,
Knox Manning is haunted by a robbery gone wrong, making him question his
ability to protect the town, and a stranded woman at the train depot with
nowhere to go is the last thing he needs. But walking away isn’t in his nature.
The badge he wears is both an anchor and a burden, one that caused him to
sacrifice the one thing he always wanted—a chance for a home and a family.
Just as they begin to see each other
in ways neither expected, and Knox dares to dream about a future with Caroline,
the town of Pine Ridge is threatened by the same outlaws he’d been tracking for
two years.
When Caroline is abducted, Knox
realizes the gang had given him something worth fighting for—worth dying for,
if necessary.
But more importantly, worth living for.
