In the rugged landscapes of the American frontier, hope often arrived in the most unexpected ways. For women answering advertisements as mail order brides, a new life promised adventure, security, and perhaps even love. But what happens when a simple twist of fate—or a single mistaken identity—threatens to upend carefully laid plans? In Mistaken Identity Mail Order Brides, destinies collide as courageous women and the men awaiting them must navigate misunderstandings, secrets, and the undeniable pull of the heart, all set against the rich tapestry of historical romance.

A Bride for Cody
A mail-order bride with a secret. A rancher with a plan. A family forged by fate.
Orlena Worth has risked everything to escape her past and start anew in the Montana Territory. When her great-uncle Ambrose rescues a young orphan targeted by dangerous men, Orlena’s journey as a mail order bride becomes even more complicated. She arrives with her unusual family in tow—hoping her intended groom will accept them, and fearing what will happen if he won’t.
Cody Tabor wanted a refined, obedient wife—someone who would fit his vision of a quiet, orderly home. Instead, Orlena is independent, courageous, and brings along a great-uncle and a child in need of protection. Unsure if this is the woman he can build a life with, Cody suggests a month-long trial before making their marriage permanent.
But as threats close in and Orlena’s spirit turns his world upside down, Cody must decide if he’s willing to fight for the unexpected family he never knew he needed.
Reviews for Cody
***** “A Bride for Cody will have you reading cover to cover without stopping!” Amazon review
***** “What a fun romance about two headstrong people. She was used to being in charge, but needed his help to protect two others who depended on her. He had definite ideas what a wife should be, and she wasn’t it. I enjoyed how the family members of these two helped draw them together. Good characters and a great action scene. A great read.” Amazon review
