Publisher's Synopsis
The Brides of Golden Valley take us back to a simpler time where mail order brides helped to bring the chance for a family to men in the wild west. This volume contains the first three books in the series.
The Farmer's Bride Charlotte wants to get away from high society where she's always felt left out. Joshua is looking for a bride who will help bring love and companionship to his new homestead. Life on his farm isn't easy, but together they just teach other what it takes to tame their new land. The Rancher's Bride Madeline's job as a writer at a local paper is something she's already dreamed about. But when she's given the task to write on mail order brides, she decides to try it for herself. Nathaniel's new homestead is everything he ever wanted, but it's definitely lacking a woman's touch.

Can they learn to work with other to make the homestead into the ranch Nathaniel has wanted, or are they just too different to make it happen?

Clarence loves visiting with everyone who comes into his general store. Spending time there means he can ignore the quiet in his small apartment.
