A Bride for Jake
2021
When Doctor Jake Elliott sent away for a mail order bride who was also a nurse, he never expected to wait months for her to arrive. He had a busy practice and needed assistance sooner rather than later. Elsie Johnson was not the bride the local doctor expected but marrying him was the fresh start she desperately needed. With a new name, the haters would not be able to trace her. At least, that’s what she hoped. Could a simple case of mistaken identity keep her safe from harm? Or will the doctor send her away when he discovers she is not the woman he thought she was? Author's Promise: This is a heartwarming historical 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.

Eugenie Hayes, an heiress seeking an escape from an undesirable betrothal, pursues a romantic notion to venture into the western frontier as a mail-order bride. Her mother met her father in the Wild West, and she aims to follow in their footsteps. Lane Bolten, a Missouri farmer, wonders how he ended up with the wrong bride, and one who hasn’t worked on a farm a day in her life, can’t cook, and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. There must be some mistake! This isn’t the bride he ordered from the agency. Can a case of mistaken identity lead to romance, faith, purpose, and true love?
#8
A Bride for Quentin
2021
Because of her controlling father, Olivia Stratton has lost everyone important in her life, including her first love. With her father now among those who are gone, she must find a way to survive. She knows she will never find a man in the town where she lives who would consider wedding her. Her only hope is marriage with a man who knows her only through letters. After a run-in with a superior officer, Army Lieutenant Quentin Thompson resigned his commission rather than to continue having his career buried. That decision was far from his only loss during that time. When the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad builds a line through the Arkansas Valley of Colorado, he accepts a job as a telegraph operator in the mining town of Jubilee Springs. He works his job, keeps to himself, and makes few friends. His life is just how he likes it—uneventful—until a ghost from his past steps off the train. If you have read my Sweethearts of Jubilee Springs novels, you might recall Quentin, the telegraph operator, who played a minor role in a few of those books. His story fit the scenario of the Mistaken Identity Mail Order Brides series so well, I took the liberty of telling his stand-alone story here.
#9
A Bride For Cody
2021
Orlena Worth agrees to be the mail order bride of a man in Montana Territory. Complications arise for her when her Great-Uncle Ambrose rescues a two-year-old from the men who killed the child’s parents. The killers are searching for the child, heir to a fortune, so Ambrose and the boy have to leave town immediately. Orlena brings them with her, but wonders what she’ll do if her groom refuses to accept all three of them. She doesn’t have the money to go back to her former home—even if it were safe for them to return. Cody Tabor gave specific instructions to the matchmaker. He asked for a refined woman of good breeding, preferably a petite blond who prefers to let her husband guide her decisions. Orlena not only turns out to be the opposite, she’s brought a great-uncle and a small child. Cody can’t decide how to react. His conscience won’t allow him to reject her as he’d prefer, yet he isn’t certain this is the woman for him. Cody suggests they wait a month to consummate their marriage so that they qualify for an annulment if they wish. Orlena is insulted, but agrees to the month’s trial period so she has a chance to make alternative plans. As he feared, his life is turned upside down. She insists that in his case, that isn’t a bad thing. When the men who want the little boy dead arrive, Cody is forced to defend his family. But can he accept them into his life?
