She was promised to another...
When widow Fiona Goldberg and her two adorable sons arrive in Oak Grove, Kansas, proclaimed bachelor Brett Blackwell is instantly captivated. But when he learns she is promised to the mayor, he tries his best to keep his distance...
Out of desperation, Fiona had agreed to become a mail-order bride to the disagreeable, self-important mayor. But something about her neighbor Brett makes her feel safe. She knows she must fight her growing feelings for the forbidden blacksmith, even while longing for him to rescue her and take her as his bride himself!
“I hope you don’t mind if your boys call me Brett? I told them it’s all right, but if you insist I’ll abide by your rules.”
In no place to deny him anything, Fiona said, “I don’t mind.”
“Good, I’m glad we agree on that, Mrs. Goldberg.”
“Me too, Mr. Blackwell.”
It felt as if they were playing a game in which neither of them had said they could call each other by their given names, but both wanted to. She thought of him as Brett. Had since last night. Yet that wouldn’t be right. She would soon marry someone else and—
“Oh…” She stumbled slightly.
“What is it? You step on a rock?”
“No.” Josiah had said he’d be back this afternoon. “I probably should have remained at the house.”
A sternness formed on his face. “The mayor is having lunch with the new preacher. He’ll be busy for some time yet.”
“Oh.”
“Come, now,” Brett said. “There’s no frowning allowed on picnics.”
He was once again smiling and his eyes looked bluer than the sky. Mesmerized for a moment, she wasn’t sure how to respond.
Welcome to Oak Grove! It’s a small town on the prairies of western Kansas and full of people who believe it’s the best town west of the Mississippi. They are so proud of their little town they create a Betterment Committee in order to bring in a trainload of mail-order brides to marry several of the local bachelors. As you can imagine, things aren’t quite as easy as they thought it would be—which has made writing these stories all the more fun.
I hope you enjoy Brett and Fiona, and the twists and turns their story takes before reaching their happy-ever-after.
Stay happy!
