Annabelle Grayson, the daughter of a rich businessman, is promised to a man more than double her age. He is so repulsive he makes her gag. He treats her badly, but only when others aren’t around to witness it. Minutes before her getaway train arrives, Annabelle stumbles across a mail-order bride advertisement in a discarded newspaper. Can she put a plan into action? Blacksmith Harrison Price wrote away for a mail-order bride some months earlier, then promptly forgot about it. He receives the telegram announcing his bride’s arrival only minutes before the train was due, leaving him no time to make himself presentable. His new bride is not impressed. Can these two put aside first impressions, or are they doomed to live a life of misery? Author's Promise: This is a heartwarming historical Christmas novella with a happily ever after ending and no cliffhangers. It is a clean and wholesome story with nothing more than hugs, kisses, and holding hands.
Author
Being a writer can be... interesting. Walking down the street and watching people go about their day-to-day life, but thinking strange, even dangerous things. I still clearly remember the day I stood at the traffic lights in downtown Melbourne. There she was, sitting in her car, waiting for the lights to change green. Tapping her fingers impatiently. Something inside my head went off. Kaboom! An idea formed, and became the beginning of a novel. Instead of sitting patiently at the lights, she was nervous, extremely anxious as she was being pursued by killers. The next thing she knew, an angry, crazy man was slamming her windscreen with a sledgehammer and she was running for her life. Yes, the life of a writer is quite unique.
