But when that trouble-making brother, Hank, returns right before the wedding, Hilton’s carefully laid plans are thrown into question. Will Pearl marry her intended? Or will she forge her own path along the western frontier and discover love along the way? The wealthy Stout brothers have lost it all to a swindler!

These sweet riches to rags stories follow those daughters as they are thrust into new lives on the frontier. These books are sweet, historical, western romances.

Minnie

2017

Minnie Stout, along with her sisters and cousins, had been forced after a family tragedy, to become mail-order brides. Now here she was, heading west, WAY west, to California, where she’d never find so much as a crumb of her old life. Unfortunately for Minnie, she didn’t allow herself to imagine a new one, either. Baker Stillwater was a cowboy first, a businessman second. He also had impeccable taste. Something of an oddity, really, but he didn’t care what other folks might think of him. Except his new mail-order bride, who didn’t know what to think no matter what he did. The poor little thing just couldn’t put a rough cowboy/general storeowner and the beautiful world he’d created for himself, together. But as far as he was concerned, she was just going to have to get used to it. Enjoy this third installment of mail-order brides going from riches to rags and then some! A clean and wholesome mail-order bride romance!

Lula

2017

Lula Stout, along with her sisters and cousins, had a charmed life. Emphasis on the word “had.” They lived in New York City, the daughters of rich shipping magnates. And in a blink of an eye, they were reduced to nothing, their father and uncle’s business gone. Right along with their reputations. To help fix the mess, Lula’s step-mother forces Lula and her sisters to become mail-order brides, sending each off without informing them where the others are going. Reeling from loss and not knowing if she’ll ever see her sisters again, Lula steps off the stage in a little town called Clear Creek, wondering what the future will bring. What she brought was a whole lot of anger and heartache. Baxter Adams wanted a wife. Unfortunately the pickings were slim in Clear Creek and he wanted the adventure of meeting someone brand new, getting married, and forging ahead with life! What he didn’t count on was that his future bride might not like the town. After all, Clear Creek wasn’t just any old place. Things happened there. Lots of things that couldn’t be explained. What if she heard about too many of them before they could marry? Worse, when he finds out she’s not only from the state of New York, but the city itself, he’s doomed. How can he convince the daughter of a rich businessman to stay? And how was he going to deal with his feelings of not measuring up? Enjoy this sweet, fun-filled story of love and acceptance.
