Description
Four unlikely brides make their way west—and find love where they least expect it in award-winner Kaki Warner’s heartwarming series, one “as stellar as her Blood Rose trilogy…”* For fans of Linda Lael Miller and Jodi Thomas...
Edwina Ladoux hoped becoming a mail-order bride would be her way out of the war-torn South, but as soon as she arrives in Heartbreak Creek, Colorado, and meets her hulking, taciturn groom, she realizes she’s made a terrible mistake. Declan Brodie already had one flighty wife who ran off with a gambler before being killed by Indians. He’s hoping for a practical farm woman who can corral his four rambunctious children. Instead, he gets a skinny Southern princess who doesn’t even know how to cook.
Luckily, Edwina and Declan agreed on a three-month courtship period, allowing them time to get the proxy marriage annulled. Yet as the weeks pass, thoughts of annulment turn into hopes for a real marriage—until the unspeakable happens, and suddenly Declan is torn between duty and desire, and Edwina has to fight for the family she’s grown to love…

Warner (Chasing the Sun) kicks off her Runaway Brides western series with this solid romance set just after the Civil War. With her family's Louisiana plantation to be auctioned off for back taxes, Edwina Ladoux answers an ad for a mail-order bride and journeys with her half-sister, Prudence, to the tiny town of Heartbreak Creek, Colo., to meet her new husband, widower Declan Brodie. Declan wants a "sturdy" woman to help run his ranch and raise his four children, and the thin Southern belle isn't what he expected. Edwina and Declan aren't sure their arrangement will work, but the two soon fall in love. However, things turn deadly when Lone Tree, an Arapaho with a grudge against Declan, decides to get his revenge via Edwina. Despite a bit of a deus ex machina, Warner delivers an engaging read full of likable characters and lovely descriptions of the rugged countryside.
