Today on Blog Tour Tuesday,
Sweet Americana Sweethearts blog is happy to announce a new historical romance
series.
Introducing…
We
are kicking off this series with four novellas as shown above. We’ll tell you a
little more about each book later. First, here is a little bit about the series:
Now, we introduce each of the first four books:
Shame
over her father’s arrest sends socialite Aurelia Northcliffe running for a new
home and a new name. After she makes sure her younger sister is secure, she
travels west to become a mail-order bride in Jubilee Springs, CO. Not only is
she shocked at the size of the tiny mining town, the men she’s matched with
make her second guess her decision. One potential groom is much too
unsophisticated and the other much too discerning--even if he’s the one who
makes her feel safe.
Mine
Manager Declan MacNeill prides himself on following rules to the letter.
Initially resistant to the upcoming bride event, he remembers his short
marriage in Ireland and realizes what he’s been missing. His first sight of his
potential bride sets his protective instincts on high alert. Everything about
her behavior indicates she’s keeping secrets. And Declan is determined on
finding out why.
She's a blond, blue-eyed beauty.
(Well, not exactly.) He's a handsome, prosperous gentleman from a good family.
(Yeah, not so much.) With their letters at odds, what will Tyler and Ellen do
when they meet and discover the truth? It's a mail order bride mess.
Ellen Barker feared her life was
destined for the lonely outcome of a spinster school teacher. An advertisement
in the paper asking for women to go to Colorado as mail order brides caught her
attention. A few letters later, she was betrothed to Tyler Fletcher. A handsome
upstanding citizen of Jubilee Springs.
Tyler Fletcher needed to be married
before he was twenty-eight. That's what his pappy had told him. That the mine
owners sent off for some mail order brides for the miners was perfect timing.
He got hold of one. The perfect lady for him. Pretty, blond and blue-eyed. A
woman of high society.
At
least that is what his partner, Nels, told him. Once Tyler had some time, he
was going to have to learn to read and write.
From
the moment Ellen met Tyler, she knew she'd disappointed him, and it wasn't as
if he'd been the prize she was expecting either. He didn't want her. She would
be left alone again. Maybe ...
Aaron Brinks, son of the Jubilee Springs
mercantile owners, has been living in a small room above his parents’ store
even though he is employed at the Prosperity Mine. When the mine owners
announce they have contacted a mail order bride agency, and will allot company houses
to the first ten miners who choose a bride and pay her way, he decides it is
time for a house of his own.
Shy Andrea Draper must escape her father’s
ranch. Her father has discouraged all potential suitors because he does not
want to lose his unpaid housekeeper, laundress, and the cook for him and his
men. Then there is the problem of Lloyd McCreary, her father’s foreman.
Learning her friend intends to go to Jubilee
Springs as a mail order bride, going with her seems Andrea’s only option for
escape. She agrees to marry Aaron even though she knows she is not worthy to be
any man’s wife. While trying to convince him to be married in name only until
he gains title to his house, at which time they can annul the marriage,
Andrea’s father shows up to drag her home against her will.
Learning what he is up against, Aaron must
decide if it is just the house he wants, or if he wants Andrea.
Jim Hawkins, sheriff of Jubilee Springs,
watches as six ladies get off the train, ready to meet and hopefully marry men
from the Prosperity Mine. He watches as one of the women leaves the group
and heads his way.
She is there to find somebody.
Sheriff Hawkins is more than happy to help her until he finds out the
person is Amos Lehman. He is a crusty old miner who has worked his mine
before the town was even a town. His cabin is old and hardly enough room
for one, let alone a female.
When Jim suggests she get back on the
train and go back where she came from, he gets a small taste of the stubborness
in the beautiful young woman standing in front of him. Charlene Lehman had come way too far to do
that and didn’t appreciate the sheriff’s interference. Blue eyes scan him from boots to hat before
dismissing him and walking away.
The Sheriff’s interest is piqued. Who is this girl? Why is she looking for some old miner? There is more to this story and Jim Hawkins
intends to find the answers.
This
series is designed to be a collection of shorter novellas running between 20K
