      A Wild West wedding!

      Thomas Greenwood expected his mail-order bride to be plain and pregnant—not a willow-slim beauty! She’s clearly no practical farmer’s wife, but she’s his chance finally to have a loving family...

      Runaway heiress Charlotte Fairfax fled the possibility of a forced marriage, yet now, assuming a stolen identity, she’s wed to a stranger the moment she steps off the train! She plans to stay only until it’s safe to leave. Except marriage to kindhearted Thomas is far more complicated—and pleasurable—than she ever imagined!

      The Fairfax Brides

      Three sisters find rugged husbands

      in the wild Wild West

      Beautiful heiresses, Charlotte, Miranda and Annabel Fairfax have only ever known a life of luxury in Boston. Now, orphaned and in danger, they are forced to flee, penniless and alone, into the lawless West. There they discover that people will risk all for gold and land—but when the sisters make three very different marriages to three enigmatic men they will find the most precious treasure of all!

       Author Note

      I’ve always loved Westerns, and when I started writing historical romance Western settings were the natural choice. The idea behind His Mail-Order Bride is simple: a young woman on the run assumes another woman’s identity—an action that lands her in trouble and leads to difficult moral choices.

      Charlotte Fairfax is a complex heroine. Born to wealth but then deprived of every security she is accustomed to, she needs to evolve from a naïve, innocent heiress into a resourceful young woman who is able to support herself in the frontier region.

      In contrast with Charlotte, Thomas Greenwood is a straightforward hero. He has had a tough life, filled with rejection and hard work. All he wants is a woman of his own. A wife. A companion. Someone to love. Someone to help with the chores.

      When the dainty, whimsical Charlotte turns up instead of the sturdy mail-order bride Thomas has been expecting his life turns into chaos—in more ways than one.

      In the opening scene of His Mail-Order Bride you’ll meet Charlotte’s sisters: the feisty, daring Miranda and the clever but highly strung Annabel. They deserved their own stories, which have became a trilogy—The Fairfax Brides. And at the end of Annabel’s story comes a solution to the family feud that has forced the girls to flee to the West.

      I hope you enjoy His Mail-Order Bride and will want to go on to read Miranda and Annabel’s stories.
