He asked for a quiet wife. She sent him a firecracker in a bonnet. When gruff Colorado blacksmith Thatcher Hale writes that he doesn’t want a fussy, opinionated wife, Miss Mabel does the only sensible she sends him Clara Hollis—strong-willed, sharp-tongued, and completely unafraid to speak her mind. Clara never expected to become a mail-order bride, and certainly not to a man who clearly didn’t ask for her. But with nowhere else to go, she’s determined to make the best of her unexpected match—even if it means clashing with the one man who might just be everything she never knew she needed. In a town full of gossip, grit, and unexpected grace, sparks fly as iron wills collide. But when God starts shaping something new from the ashes of disappointment, both Clara and Thatcher must decide if what they really need… might be each other. They ask for quiet, obedient brides. Mabel sends them the ones with fire. Full of laugh-out-loud banter, heartfelt faith, and sweet frontier romance, The Brides of Miss Mabel’s Registry is a series of wholesome, charming love stories where opposites attract, sparks fly, and happily ever after comes with a few unexpected detours. There are lots more stories to come! Book #1 is only the beginning for Miss Mabel and her brides.
