Book Description
A collection of 4 standalone Clean and Wholesome Western romance short stories with guarantee HEA and no cliffhangers. Silver Boom - Historical Mail Order Bride Romance After the discovery of silver was publicized with the Comstock Lode in 1859 Wesley (Wes) Stockton heads to Utah territory to see if silver can make him rich. He spends his fortune, such as it is, and eventually hits a vein of silver that leaves him considerably well off. Unfortunately for him, what it can’t bring him is a woman to spend his life with. Anna McFarland is a sassy, red-haired beauty whose blue eyes say everything her mouth refuses to speak. It isn’t that she is unable to think or form coherent thoughts, more it’s a condition of a terrible tragedy she suffered as a child. When she sees Wesley’s advertisement for a wife, she jumps at the chance to build the life she’s dreamed of. Can Wesley accept the love of a woman who won’t speak, or will Anna find that true love can heal even the deepest of wounds? A New Beginning - Historical Western Romance Hannah Henderson is leaving home. She has answered an advertisement placed by a rancher in New Mexico, and has agreed to marry him. She has also agreed to leave behind the painful memories of a former fiance who abandoned her for a wealthier woman at the first opportunity. Hannah desperately hopes that, even though she may not find love out west, she may at least be able to have a good life. When she arrives in Santa Fe, however, she discovers that her fiance, Adam Jennings, has secrets of his own. Placing the advertisement for a bride seems more his meddling sister’s idea than his. Indeed, he seems torn by the idea of having Hannah in his home at all. When it becomes clear that Adam has a past perhaps more devastating than her own, Hannah becomes desperate to learn it. But, she soon discovers that some secrets are best left undisturbed. Will Hannah and Adam be able to shed the dark secrets of their past and build a life together? A New Life - Sweet Historical Western / Pregnancy Romance Rose O’Neil has a problem. Three problems, in fact. First, she has arrived in Denver, Colorado from Boston with very little money. Second, she has no relations in the city, no job and nowhere to stay. Third, she is pregnant. Wandering the streets of Denver, she knows that she will have to find a job quickly. That is when she comes upon a general store run by Jonah Henderson. Jonah is young, good looking and exceptionally kind, and not only offers Rose a position in his shop, but also teaches her both to read and to write. As they work together, Rose finds herself becoming more than a bit fond of Jonah, against her better judgment. But she has not told Jonah about the baby, and she knows as soon as she begins to show, she will have to leave Denver, the shop and Jonah behind forever. But, when complications arise in her pregnancy, she has to reveal the truth. Will Jonah accept her even in her condition? Will Rose finally find a place she can call home? Uncivil Discord - Clean Historical Western Romance Mercy Thompson is trapped by a stepmother she can’t stand. Penniless, she works at a shelter during the day to have a place to sleep at night. Picking up the paper one afternoon though, she sees an advertisement for a mail-order bride. Will Kale Preston provide the safety and security she longs for? Kale Preston is tired of living alone. Unfortunately for him, he lives in the great state of Texas, which boasts about ten men for every woman. Take out the married women and that ratio doubles. Feeling desperate for a companion, Kale places an ad in several eastern newspapers in hopes of finding a woman willing to at least think about marriage. When he hears from Mercy Thompson Kale becomes intrigued almost instantly. Will she turn out to be everything he wants in a wife, or will the two of them find that mail-order marriage is the worst tie that binds?

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A powerful memoir of a love that leads two people to find a courageous way to part—and a woman’s struggle to go forward in the face of loss—that “enriches the reader’s life with urgency and gratitude” (The Washington Post) “A pleasure to read . . . Rarely has a memoir about death been so full of life. . . . Bloom has a talent for mixing the prosaic and profound, the slapstick and the serious.”—USA Today ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR Amy Bloom began to notice changes in her husband, Brian: He retired early from a new job he loved; he withdrew from close friendships; he talked mostly about the past. Suddenly, it seemed there was a glass wall between them, and their long walks and talks stopped. Their world was altered forever when an MRI confirmed what they could no longer ignore: Brian had Alzheimer’s disease. Forced to confront the truth of the diagnosis and its impact on the future he had envisioned, Brian was determined to die on his feet, not live on his knees. Supporting each other in their last journey together, Brian and Amy made the unimaginably difficult and painful decision to go to Dignitas, an organization based in Switzerland that empowers a person to end their own life with dignity and peace. In this heartbreaking and surprising memoir, Bloom sheds light on a part of life we so often shy away from discussing—its ending. Written in Bloom’s captivating, insightful voice and with her trademark wit and candor, In Love is an unforgettable portrait of a beautiful marriage, and a boundary-defying love.
