Elizabeth Byrd receives an invitation to join her friends in Angel Creek, Montana to become a mail-order bride.

There’s nothing left for her in Charleston but more heartache.
Captain David Pemberton retreats to his hunting lodge in Montana the moment the war is over. He’s looking forward to being alone with the memories of his wife who passed in the early days of the fighting. But the men of Angel Creek don’t see fit to leave a widowed soldier alone during Christmas. Insisting four years is long enough to grieve, they dare him to join them on a holiday venture to acquire wives for them all — a dare he accepts in a weak moment.
He receives the shock of his life at who steps off the stagecoach to claim his hand in marriage.

Product: Abigail (Once Upon A Church House Book 1)
Description: A prim and proper church secretary, a take-nothing-off-of-nobody sawmill owner, and the rural mountain church renovation that forces their paths to cross more often than either would prefer…

Abigail Price, a recently widowed church secretary, receives a letter from an old friend, urgently requesting her presence for the opening of the Mountain Springs Church in rural Idaho. Though things are difficult at the moment, financially and otherwise, she splurges on a train ticket, not quite knowing how she’ll scrape up the funds for the return trip.
Chad Patterson’s boxing career is cut short when his ailing father insists he return home to Mountain Springs to run the family sawmill. Bitter over his premature exit from the boxing circuit, Chad is even less thrilled to discover his father’s work crew is a hodgepodge of misfits, ex-cons, and all-around troublemakers.
To make matters worse, some do-gooder pastor has arrived into town and won’t quit hounding everyone about attending his church opening festivities. Plus, some hoity-toity church lady seems to think Chad and his men should simply fall in line with her every demand when it comes to cleaning up the church grounds. It doesn’t help that she’s too pretty for her own good and his rascal logging crew is all too happy to oblige. Or the way he finds himself leaping to her aid in the hopes of coaxing one of those rare but intoxicating smiles from her…
ONCE UPON A CHURCH HOUSE is a sweet and inspirational historical western romance series with a dash of magic and time travel.
Pastor Zach Shepherd feels called to plant a church in rural Mountain Springs, Idaho, a place his friends warn him is unredeemable. However, he’s a firm believer in miracles and scoffs at their dire predictions of his pending failure. He quickly sizes up the renegade collection of mostly male town folk and determines what they need (in addition to salvation) is a woman’s touch to straighten them out. Throwing on his matchmaker hat, he prays God will send a few saved and sanctified women his way to get the first marriages rolling. He specifically prays for the kind of women legends are made of — from the Bible days — never dreaming how swiftly nor how thoroughly his prayers would be answered!

Description: When duty and honor collide — how far should a man go to protect the woman he loves?

Deputy Sergio Desoto made a deathbed promise to his brother to always look after his wife, Salome — or Sal, as the whole Desert Springs police department affectionately calls her. Everybody loves Sal, including Sergio, who has secretly been in love with her for years, though he’s never given into the temptation to pursue her.

He’s too busy trying to keep the lovely nurse safe from a vengeful drug cartel that will stop at nothing in their quest to turn him into a dirty cop on their payroll. He comes up with a plan to send Sal and his six-year-old son into hiding until he can resolve the escalating threats to their lives once and for all.

But Sal has other ideas. She's proud to be a Desoto, and she doesn't believe running is the answer. If she refuses to go into hiding, however, Sergio will have to deal with something far more daunting than the crosshairs of a hitman. He’ll finally have to face his feelings for her!

Description: A lonely soldier, who's an expert search and rescuer...
A lovely veterinarian, who is anxious to prove herself in K9 rescue operations...
The amber alert that puts both their skills and their hearts on the line...
Sergeant Luke Jordan and his squad of K9 handlers have successfully routed out so many enemy combatants that he’s become known throughout his military police unit as Sergeant Fang. When he and his dog, Hellion, travel home to Texas for Christmas, they’re looking forward to two weeks of well-earned and uninterrupted rest.  They didn’t count on arriving home to the news headline of, Missing Child. All volunteers needed ASAP. However, he understands how important it is to find a missing person during the first twenty-four hours, so he and Hellion report to duty instead of vacation.
Coco Winslet has always loved animals and always dreamed of helping others, so it’s no surprise to anyone when the young veterinarian starts her own volunteer K9 search and rescue team after hours. They’ve been training for months to prepare for their first real mission. When Davy Henderson goes missing on the last day of school before winter break, she can’t refuse the call for volunteers — even though she’s supposed to be on a plane home to California.  Though Luke is impressed by the commitment of Coco’s volunteers during the holidays, he worries about their lack of experience in the first crisis they encounter together. Meanwhile, Coco is so busy trying to prove her team is up to the task, that she takes an unnecessary risk…or two.
Luke finds himself juggling two teams who’ve never worked together, mounting dangers, and a growing attraction to a very determined young woman as they race to solve this latest amber alert before it’s too late.

Product: Jinglebell Jane (Mail Order Brides Rescue Series Book 7)
Description: A young beauty with a reputation for trouble, a clever cowboy plotting her arrest, and an unexpected attraction to complicate things…

Jane Sherrington is the sister of one of the most notorious outlaws in the west. Captured during a massive roundup, she is the key to bringing the cunning and dangerous Hunter Sherrington to justice. There’s only one problem: The lawmen in Headstone, Arizona can’t seem to pin a single indictment on the lovely little sharp-shooter, so they release her into the care of a local attorney and former mail-order bride, Felicity Barra.
Felicity’s youngest brother-in-law, Dodge, is the first to lay eyes on their infamous houseguest when the sheriff delivers her to their ranch home. He is inexplicably drawn to her air of innocence, but he knows better than to trust appearances. Anyone with the last name of Sherrington spells trouble. Realizing it is only a matter of time before her brother attempts to break her out of custody, he slyly befriends her, fully intending to help build a case against the siblings that will lead to their arrest.
Jane’s pleading for Dodge to serve as her tutor comes as a surprise. She has considerable lost time to make up for after five years on the road with a posse of bad hombres. And from what he can tell, she has never had a real friend…like him. As Christmas approaches, he finds himself torn between family loyalties, the call of justice, and his growing attraction to the brave and spirited young woman he teasingly calls Jinglebell Jane.

Description: An impoverished debutante who signs a mail-order bride contract to avoid financial ruin and the rugged cowboy determined to save her from such a disastrous decision…

Bertha Langston (who prefers to be called Bert) is far more interested in tinkering with her inventions than becoming a bride. Her latest passion is hot-air ballooning, which doesn’t make it easy for her matchmaker and his lovely new wife to find her the perfect groom. In fact, it makes the task next to impossible!

Kane Jameson, cowboy by day and innkeeper by night at the Black Barrel Inn, sees no point in marrying and settling down any time soon. Life is one big adventure, and he’s fairly certain it doesn’t begin and end in Brownsville, Texas

Until Bert Langston bursts uninvited into his group of friends at a town picnic to join their debate about the future of air travel. He finds himself so enchanted by her careless beauty and much-wrinkled gown that he accepts a dare from his brother and business partner, Griff, to do whatever it takes to capture her attention on a more personal level — as her next suitor!

Description: A new Pinkerton detective trying to hide her feelings from the man she loves, an undercover agent trying to protect the woman of his dreams from a dangerous set of outlaws, and the marriage of convenience that forces them to face what their hearts really want…

Madeleine Caruthers has been madly in love with her pastor for over a year, but (despite the fact she is convinced the attraction is mutual) he’s made it clear he’s married to the church and his job. So when her friends in Texas send her a frantic summons, she doesn’t think twice about signing on as a Pinkerton agent to assist them in their quest to bring a dangerous cattle rustling gang to justice. As far as she’s concerned, women can marry their jobs, too.

Pastor Josh Michaelson hates the fact that he’s not in the position to court the lovely Madeleine, but he can’t stand the thought of dragging her into the dangers of his life as an undercover Pinkerton agent. When she suddenly departs for Texas, he prays she will find someone out west who will love her and cherish her the way she deserves. He doesn’t expect to get called to work a case in Texas, himself, nor does he (not even in his wildest dreams) expect to be asked to join hands in temporary matrimony upon his arrival — with none other than the woman of his dreams!

Product: Wanted Bounty Hunter
Description: She needs a strong and honorable mail-order husband to ward off the advances of an unwanted suitor and con man!

Orphan and widow Rachel West is returning home to Oregon after eight years of living with her guardian on the East Coast. Thanks to a lavish inheritance from her great-aunt, she now has the funds to realize her dream of opening the Silverpines Finishing School for Young Ladies.

Unfortunately, a former co-instructor from Boston follows her to Silverpines, claiming a death-bed promise to look after her. Highly suspicious of his intentions, she sends off for a mail-order husband to provide a buffer between them; but she makes it clear in her letter she wishes to court first and only marry if they develop feelings for each other and the “good Lord wills it.”

As a bounty hunter by trade, Boone Cassidy is accustomed to far more dangerous tasks than ridding spoiled debutantes of their unwanted suitors. He fully expects the uppity Mrs. West to send him packing the moment she realizes a Black man has been sent to her aid. After laying eyes on her at the train station, however, he realizes he’s made a great many incorrect assumptions about the lovely headmistress.

All of a sudden, thwarting the attentions of her dandified, self-proclaimed beau from Boston becomes a task worthy of his most gallant efforts!
