WANTED:
ONE BRIDE
Prisoners
of Love: Cinnamon, by USA Today best-selling author, Callie Hutton
In 1877
saloon girl, Cinnamon O’Brien, sits in Dodge City jail with three other women
charged with various crimes. Her charges, of course, are totally unfair since
she only hit the mayor over the head with the pitcher of beer because he
grabbed her lady parts. Now the marshal gives the four women a choice: join up
with the wagon train in Fort Dodge and head to Santa Fe as a mail order bride,
or when the judge sobers up, he’ll be so ornery he’ll probably sent them to the
state prison.
Before they even leave, childhood friend, Jedediah Nelson, newly
ordained preacher headed to Santa Fe, and in need of a wife, proposes to
Cinnamon. A preacher and a saloon girl? She’s about to give him a wild ride.
The
Reluctant Bride, by award winning author, Maxine Douglas
Roseanne
“Rose” Duncan, witnesses her employer push his sickly wife down the staircase.
Fearing she’ll have to testify against a prominent man in town, she’s given an
ad for a mail order bride in Dodge City. Believing this is a way for her to
escape the possible danger of her employer, she travels to Dodge City and
marries under the name of Abigail Johnson.
Logan
Granger, is a Pinkerton Detective assigned to Dodge City area as an undercover
bartender. When his mail order bride, “Abby,” steps off the train she doesn’t
fit the description of a matronly woman who has agreed to his marriage contract
of no emotional attachments. There’s no time to reconsider the preacher is
waiting to marry them.
Rose hadn’t expected the handsome man waiting for her to be an
undercover bartender with a six shooter on his hip and a badge on his lapel.
Logan hadn’t expected his soon to be wife to be young, beautiful, and a runaway
murder witness.
Miss
Fortune and the Major, by Peggy McKenzie
Calamity
Fortune was born under a bad luck star. And now, It’s time to find a new place
to call home after she burns down the church during her best friend’s wedding.
A place she can be herself without fear of judgment. An advertisement catches
her eye. “Widower seeks a wife. Salary included. Platonic relationship
guaranteed. Pagosa Springs, Colorado.” Calamity hopes a change in scenery can
bring a change in luck and a place she can live by her own rules.
Major Lucas Quinn, widower, decorated officer, used to giving
orders and getting respect, can’t control his own children. His sister, Sarah,
insists it’s his unyielding, arrogant, absolute control over everyone and
everything preventing anyone who knows him from agreeing to be his wife. Lucas
places an advertisement for a mail order bride and he makes it clear--his new
wife must be organized, run a disciplined household and well-suited with
children. There is no room for insubordination.
The Bride’s
Deception, by Heidi Vanlandingham
Escaping
the outlaw who controlled her old life, Alayna Kimbal is determined to forge a

and mother, each day hoping her lies and the identity of the man hunting her
aren’t discovered.
Marshal
Jerome Riddick's life-long goal is to never get married. Then the only woman he
ever trusted is killed. Struggling to care for her children, he realizes he can
no longer dodge his duty so he takes a bride--only to find out she’s keeping a
huge secret from him. A secret that could get them all killed.

Sounds like a great boxed set. Will put it on my TBR list.
Thank you Marissa! It's my first western historical and I'm thrilled that my debut will be with these great authors. I wasn't sure how I'd like it, but I've come up with two follow up stories for The Reluctant Bride. :)
What a series! These chicks sound like individualistic live wires and love the history behind them. Good luck!
