Heidi travels to Texas to marry the son of family friends, carrying hopes for a secure future and escape from her troubled past. When she arrives to devastating news—her intended groom has died—she faces an impossible choice. With nowhere to go and no money to return home, she accepts a proposal from Gentry, her late fiancé’s ranch partner.

Book 2: Jesse and the Mail Order Bride
When Law Meets Love
Sheriff Jesse Cannon and his deputy thought they were getting respectable mail-order brides to help bring stability to their frontier town. Instead, they get Rosalind and her friend—two grifters on the run from their dangerous boss who will stop at nothing to reclaim his “property.”
As Jesse wrestles with his duty as a lawman and his growing feelings for the mysterious Rosalind, he must decide: will he arrest the woman who’s captured his heart, or defend her from the evil men hunting her? Some choices test a man’s character and reveal what truly matters.
Book 3: Quinn and the Mail Order Bride
Love Requires Patience and Determination
Priscilla Bradford arrives in Texas Hill Country with unwavering determination—she and Quinn McRae will have a happy marriage, and all she has to do is convince him. But Quinn, scarred by past betrayals, isn’t interested in love or the complications that come with a wife who has her own strong opinions.
What Quinn doesn’t count on is Priscilla’s persistence, kindness, and the way she slowly but surely works her way into every corner of his carefully guarded heart. Sometimes the best things in life require patience, understanding, and a woman who refuses to give up on love.
