American Mail order Brides of the West, historically inspired clean and wholesome short story romance. From the Bestselling Author Katie Wyatt! Atlantic City, 1876 Maddy McLean's maddening inability to follow the rules and do as society expects of her is driving her parents to distraction. After Maddy's thoughtlessness almost causes her father to lose a major business deal, her parents decide to send Maddy to a training course out West in San Francisco. Maddy eagerly agrees. Perhaps this will be her chance for the life of adventure and excitement that she craves. She happily waves Atlantic City goodbye and sets off for her new life out West. Unfortunately, it does not take long for Maddy to be caught up in her new friend Lorna Willoughby's web of lies and deceit, and things suddenly get a little complicated. Lorna's plan appears to be a sure way for the girls to get money, but why didn't Maddy stop and consider exactly what she was getting herself into before she agreed to go along with it? John Schneider is certainly a man of unusually fine appearance, but he is also a man who does not care to be deceived. Will Maddy be forced into marrying a man that she barely knows? Lorna's wild ways continue unchecked, and now a man lies dead. Is Maddy facing jail time for her part in the crime? Join Maddy on her mad journey into more excitement than she'd ever hoped for. Along the way she discovers that she can adjust and fit in with only a little effort after all - but are her efforts too late? Moreover, has her maddening disregard for other people's feelings cost her the man she loves? ....“a story of hope, fear, romance, suspense and true love.”.... While this book is part of a romance series, it can definitely be read as a standalone book.
