Book excerpt: introducing Violet, Iris and Rose Kilburn, Heiresses to the Kilburn family cattle fortune. Rocking Horse Ranch runs five thousand head of cattle but all the ranch hands are getting old. The sisters need someone to run the ranch, so the eldest sister Violet hatches the idea of getting mail order husbands for the three of them. There’s only one problem. Cornell Pollard, the sisters’ guardian and the executor of their estate, doesn’t approve. Violet must challenge Pollard and her own role as his ally to find love and gain control over her own life. The sisters pick up their prospective grooms from the train station and bring them back to the Ranch. The men stay in a neighboring house until the minister comes at the end of the week to marry them all. Things quickly start to go wrong. Everybody starts butting heads, and Violet finds herself embroiled in a family drama the likes of which Rocking Horse Ranch has never seen before. Will Violet’s plan to get married end in disaster, or can she and her sisters find love with a group of strange men? Are these men what they appear to be, or is something more sinister at work?

But Rose is determined her friend Esther won't be shamed and left in the lurch. All she needs to do is locate Esther's beloved, Gabriel. And to do that, she needs an arrest warrant from the North West Mounted, and she knows how to get it. Not exactly mail order, but effective, nonetheless. But will Esther's father greet Gabriel with a shotgun? Esther's father is also Rose's boss, and he's anything but pleased with Rose's plotting. Will she lose her job? Rose relies on the new Reverend, Joel, to keep order and bloodshed to a minimum. And she's also finding him unnervingly attractive.

IS SHE BRAVE ENOUGH TO VENTURE INTO A CAREER? And can she ever tell Joel the truth about her disgraceful secret??

Meet seven of Turtle Springs, Kansas’, finest women who are determined to revive their small town after the War Between the States took most of its men. . .and didn’t return them. The ladies decide to advertise for husbands and devise a plan for weeding out the riff raff. But how can they make the best practical choices when their hearts cry out to be loved? Abigail’s Proposal by Cynthia Hickey When her father never returned from the war, Abigail Melton stepped into his role as town mayor. The town needs men, and she needs a husband—and she has a big idea how to find both—but her first duty is to hire a sheriff. And drifter Josiah Ingram will do just fine. The Kidnapped Groom by Susan Page Davis Riding through the Flint Hills on his way to Dodge City, cowboy Sam Cayford finds himself the kidnapping victim of two children. When he meets their lovely mother, Maggie Piner—whom the kids insist he should marry—Sam starts to question God’s plans versus his own. A Clean Slate by Susanne Dietze Schoolmarm Roberta “Birdy” Green won’t marry any of the prospective grooms flocking to town. After losing her fiancé in the war, the only love her broken heart can bear is for her students. But then she takes on a new pupil—Drew Cooper, one of the gentlemen drawn to Kansas by the advertisement for grooms. Sunshine of My Heart by Darlene Franklin Debbie Barker longs to bring beauty to her new home on the prairie, where her family moved after the war, and seeks a husband to help her father run the ranch. Zack Gage returned home from the war to a life in ruins—family dead and business bankrupted. He answers the mail-order husband ad to seek a fresh start. But neither Debbie nor Zeke know what they are doing when it comes to ranching. . .or love. Come What May by Patty Smith Hall Chardy Stevens is at the end of her rope. Between running her late father’s store and tending to her four younger brothers, she barely has time to breathe, much less look for a husband to help her. The boys scare off most of her prospects and throw Chardy together with her childhood friend Luke, a disabled veteran who seeks her happiness above his own. Dime Novel Suitor by Carrie Fancett Pagels Widow Caroline Kane is the proprietor of a restaurant and inn—and responsible for her five teenaged siblings. But she has no plans of finding a mail-order groom. Britisher Barden Granville IV is on a “cowboy holiday” when he finds himself flat broke in Kansas. When he answers an old “help wanted” ad, Caroline misconstrues Barden is there as a potential husband. Will the beautiful and fiesty widow cause the new vicar to make Kansas his home? Louder than Words by Gina Welborn After years of writing abolitionist pamphlets and chronicling soldier life during the war, J.R. Lockhart is bored and jumps at the opportunity to investigate an advertisement for husbands for an article in Godey’s Lady’s Book. Jane Ransome would like to help the charming-but-oblivious-to-life-out-West man chronicle the courtships developing in town, but she has her own husband to find—one who will fit perfectly in her picket-fenced Kansas home.

Book excerpt: A historical western cowboy romance about a mail order husband. ** A clean historical novella ** This third book in the Montana Brides series reveals the shocking conclusion to the mystery of Cornell Pollard's murder. Friday morning dawns clear and bright for the Kilburn family triple wedding. The eldest sister, Violet, is marrying Chuck Ahern. The middle sister, Iris, is marrying Mick McAllister. But all the evidence and every finger points to Rose's fiance, Jake Hamilton, as the killer. Worst of all, Sheriff Tom Maitland still lurks around Rocking Horse Ranch, hunting the murderer. Everyone thinks the youngest sister, Rose, has lost her senses for defending Jake's innocence. Jake still faces everything with his usual air of amused superiority, confirming his guilt in the minds of his fellow mail-order couples. The sisters prepare for the wedding service, and the minister arrives to perform the ceremony, but to their horror, Sheriff Maitland shows up in the middle of the wedding, throwing everyone into confusion. He still has a few pointed questions for the suspects, especially Jake. Will Rose's resolve hold up under the pressure? Will she find a way to prove his innocence at the last moment, or is she making a terrible mistake by marrying the man who killed her uncle? The future of their family and the lives of everyone involved hang in the balance, and only Rose holds the key to the mystery.

Melissa Grayson desires nothing more than to teach art and poetry to the children at the private school founded by her father. But every trip Melissa makes into town drives the single men into such a frenzy that the local clergy and sheriff finally give her an ultimatum: marriage or jail. Prepared to make any sacrifice for her students, Melissa writes her New York pen pal—a sickly, sensitive scholar—to arrange a platonic union whose real commitment will be to education. Gambling man Lucky Lawrence is always up for a game of chance. But when a sore loser expects Lucky to pay with his life, even he wouldn’t bet on making it out alive—until he’s confused for a studious Harvard boy who’s engaged to the most beautiful woman Lucky has ever seen. Never one to deny a damsel in distress, Lucky happily plays the part. Melissa in turn is shocked to discover that her groom is so ruggedly handsome—with broad shoulders and teasing eyes . . . a man who just may show her a love she has always thought existed only in books.

Back before I discovered my wife was cheating on me in front of the whole town. Oh, and the baby she was carrying wasn’t even mine.

She’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen and I’m instantly in love. But are the scars from my past too much for a ray of sunshine like her? Valentine Yep, I was born on Valentine’s Day and yeah, it is a dorky name. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t believe in family and love and forever. Sure, I was a foster kid who never knew those things. But I want to. That’s why I signed up to be a mail order bride. Looking at Ethan, I know that we can make this work if he’ll just give me a chance. He seems determined to close himself off, but maybe for the first time, I can convince someone I’m worth keeping. Will this lonely cowboy finally let me inside? Or are we doomed to keep this as a marriage in name only?

Rose's Mail Order Brides and Grooms business, Object Matrimony, is becoming successful, but ironically Rose's own romances seem to be failures. Why did Philip, the man she loved and thought she'd marry, desert her and leave town without a single word? Now he's back and Rose is furious with him. She's also horrified when he reveals a secret that can impact Joel, the new man in her life. But she has business to think of, a difficult match to arrange for a young woman in double trouble. Laughter, tears and betrayal--Tangled Lives has all three. If you love Western historical romance and mail-order bride stories, you'll love Tangled Lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon the impassioned request of her dear friend, Annabel Coleman, scheduled to become a mail order bride, Gisela Craig had reluctantly switched identities on their trek west from South Carolina to Colorado. At the last minute (thankfully before final arrangements were made and a husband duped), the truth had come out. Although Gisela, who has rightfully reclaimed her name and character, had no plans to be married, she is drawn to the charming and devilishly handsome Jesse, second oldest of the Falcon sons, as he is to her. Within a short time, they celebrate their romance in a double wedding ceremony with Sam and Annabel and set up housekeeping on the Cottonwood Ranch. All is going well. Gisela and Jesse are plainly in love; she is happily settling into the ranch routine and adapting to her change in circumstances; relations with all of her new in-laws can be seen as friendly and supportive. All is going far too well. Because, as always, there’s another shoe to drop. One rainy October day, the sheriff of Pasto Verde arrives at the Falcon homestead. He has come with a single express purpose: to arrest newlywed Gisela Craig Falcon. For murder.
