Abigail's Adventure

2019

Widow Abigail Hembree’s entire world has been the Wigg School and Foundling Home. She and her precious children have found a home there, safe from the evils of men, as she taught and nurtured the orphans who shared their lives. But Madam Wigg has made her an offer she can’t refuse, and it comes with a terrifying stipulation: become a mail-order bride—put her future in a man’s hands once more—and she’ll be able to have her own school. A year ago, Matthias Blake lay bleeding to death in the dirt outside of Black Aces, Montana, and came to a realization: more than anything, he wanted a wife and children. Now that he’s recovered and built his business into a success, a mail-order bride could take care of both of those dreams. But he didn’t plan on a wife who has a good reason to be afraid of men, or a son who wants nothing to do with Matthias’s beloved business. When matters conspire—in the form of the mysterious Mr. King, who owns most of the town—to keep Abigail from opening her school, she is dangerously close to having to give up her dream. And while Matthias knows he’s willing to change his own dream to save hers, it all relies on Abigail. Can she learn to trust her new husband, or will the ghosts of her past overcome whatever chance she and Matthias have at a happily ever after? Heat level 1.5/5

So, while everyone thinks she’s headed to Bower, Colorado to be a Mail-Order Bride, she’s actually going there to apply for a job… in a print shop. There is nothing in the world so exciting to Imogene as the creation of the printed word and she wanted to help create it. Printer Silas Hix has been advertising for an assistant, but the one man who inquired about the job hasn’t shown up. Instead, he meets a young woman with a keen mind and an interest in his work.

Well, it turns out that Mother Nature has plenty to say about the two who share a love for printing machines and don’t mind ink stains on their fingers. She’s not above stacking the deck in their favor and suddenly the future’s out of both of their hands and in front of the Pastor. What does fate have to say now that they’ve met someone who is just their ‘type’? This book, the ninth in “The Alphabet Mail-Order Brides” series, and is connected to my “Bower, Colorado” Series.

Her mother died giving birth, waiting for her husband and son to return from the gold fields in California. But neither one was ever heard from again. Still, it makes no difference to Phebe that twenty-five years have passed, she’s determined to find them. After all, she’s promised her “angel mom” she would. But she's never had a chance to keep that promise. Until now. When Madam Wigg, the head of the orphanage and school where Phebe grew up and became a teacher, offered her the chance to start a school of her own anywhere she wanted, how could she say no? The mountains of California would be the perfect place to start her school! She could take in all the orphans of the miners and keep her promise to search for her missing family. But first she had to find a way to get there. Becoming a mail order bride seemed like the perfect, and practical, answer! Henry has a problem. A woman he doesn’t like at all has tricked him into an innocent, but seemingly compromising, position, to force him into an unwanted engagement. Which is exactly what will happen if her ruthless father has anything to say about it. As a scientist and an inventor, Henry can be brilliant with his experiments, but he’s also accidentally started a fire or two and maybe blown-up something on occasion. And he doesn’t know one thing about women, romance, or how to get out of marrying someone he can barely tolerate. Even so, he’s stunned when his family comes up with a solution—he can’t get engaged if he’s already married. A mail-order bride is just what Henry needs. And they are sure they’ve found the perfect match for him! But Henry’s not too keen on the idea. He might be simply trading one problem for another. And when Phebe meets Henry, she’s not at all certain he’s husband material. He’d likely blow-up or burn down her new school! Will these two opposites ever work their unlikely marriage out and find happiness together? Phebe's Promise is a sweet, historical romance set in California several decades after the gold rush. It is the second story in the Silver Dollar series, as well as the sixteenth book in the fantastic Alphabet Mail-Order Brides series, but can be read as a stand-alone novel.

When I was a child, I used to ride up and down the dumb waiter, hoping to see all kinds of magical creatures. In my dreams I could fly. I made up stories for as long as I can remember. Is it any wonder that I became a writer? I pen stories in several different genres. Most of my books have humor, and are either romances or have romantic elements and they usually have some mystery going on as a subplot. My first books were published by Dorchester Love Spell. I'm an avid reader and a voracious science fiction and fantasy fanatic.
