Read About The Journeys Of Four Women Who Head Out To The Montana Frontier In Search Of Love In This Collection Of Sweet Historical Romances
Book 1: Montana Mail Order Bride Madeline
It's 1882, and after being employed as a nanny for a family in Providence for over three years, young Madeline's world is turned upside down after a house fire tragically takes the children that are in her care away from her. Haunted by memories of those she cared so dearly for, she soon longs to escape Providence in the hope that doing so will allow her to heal and feel whole once again.
While browsing through the Providence Daily Post, she happens upon a series of ads placed by men from Montana who seek brides to join them on the new Frontier. All of the ads quickly begin to sound the same when suddenly, one stands out. Though skeptical, she decides to muster the courage to respond to a man named Mr. Adam Black who seeks an intelligent woman, not just a pleasant woman to keep his home tidy.
Upon her arrival, Madeline meets the dashing Mr. Black and is quickly swept off her feet when he gives her a tour of his lavish home and all that lies within. Her hopes are quickly dashed, however, when he reveals to her that in truth, he's only really looking to settle down to please his father, hoping to continue living his bachelor's lifestyle.
Although Madeline agrees to go along with Mr. Black's peculiar arrangement, she can't help but feel the palpable chemistry between them. Will Madeline settle for a picture perfect, yet hollow marriage arrangement, or does Mr. Black share the same feelings, turning her daydreams into a real life fairy tale?
Book 2: Montana Mail Order Bride Clara
In 1890, New York City is no place for a woman alone, and that is exactly what young Clara has become. As she struggles to cope with the death of her only living relative, she is also faced with her own set of predicaments.
Now, as she attempts to find work in the newspaper, she finds the advertisement of William Dean. William is a rugged man, used to the desolate life of the Frontier, and he's made a place for himself in Montana--but his success means nothing without the tender warmth of a wife. When Clara notices his ad seeking a marriageable prospect, she responds and their worlds collide.
Book 3: Montana Mail Order Bride Emma
When Emma marries her sweet husband James, she thinks she will finally get her happily ever after. But after eight happy years of marriage, Emma is forced to let her dear James fall prey to deathly clutches of a horrible illness. All she has left now is her dearest twelve year old daughter, Margaret.
Both take jobs as seamstresses in a factory downtown, but their meager wages just aren't enough for the two to get by. Emma is forced to admit that she needs the help of another husband, so when a matrimonial ad appears in the paper from a Frontier man, Emma takes a risk and heads to Montana with Margaret and Frederick, a long-time dear friend of her late husband's who insists on accompanying the ladies as their chaperone.
Book 4: Montana Mail Order Bride Julia
When a boy whom Julia has been charged to take care of dies, Julia is left searching for her next path in life. Her choices are limited, as she is not a wealthy woman nor is she married, and she fears that she must take the charity of her only living relative.
At the last moment, a dear friend suggests a rather risky plan: to travel across the country to the Montana frontier in search of a husband she has never met. Julia follows through, despite her reservations, only to find that her husband to be is a widower with a young son and a cold heart due to the circumstances that he has faced.
Will her warm and caring presence be the perfect cure to melt his heart?
