Book Description
Valentine Silverton has enjoyed comfort and luxury his entire life. Then, all at once, the family fortune vanishes, and he’s a pauper. The only recourse he has is to find a wealthy heiress. But he doesn’t want to just find just any wealthy heiress. He wants to find one he can fall in love with. Since there are no suitable prospects in his area, he takes his friend’s advice and becomes a mail-order husband. Nelly Larson grew up on a farm, and she loves everything about it. She loves the life so much, in fact, that she got her own homestead. The last thing she wants is to be strapped to one of the men in town who think her place is in the kitchen. She’s going to keep her independence, and keeping her independence will require her to avoid marriage at all costs. Nelly’s sisters, however, can’t believe Nelly will truly be happy if she doesn’t get married. Romance, after all, is one of life’s most wonderful experiences. When they come upon Valentine’s ad, they know he’ll be perfect for her. So they take matters into their own hands and answer his ad on Nelly’s behalf. Valentine thinks Nelly is the one answering his ad, and at once, he’s intrigued by her. He has no idea what a homestead is, but he assumes that a young woman who owns land and runs her own business must have lots of money. Excited, he runs off to Omaha to marry her. The day comes when the two meet, and it’s at that time they realize they’ve been set up. Since Valentine has no money, he can’t leave Omaha. He has to marry Nelly. Even if she doesn’t have much, she has a place to live and food to eat. In exchange for marriage, he promises Nelly he won’t hinder her independence. Thankfully, she agrees to marry him. But Valentine kind of likes Nelly, and he’s determined to show her that some things are worth giving up total independence for…and love just happens to be one of them.

Book Description
Rule #1 of becoming a mail order bride: never fall in love with your cowboy groom. Cade She was the prom queen. I was the dork everyone made fun of. One moment of kindness from her changed everything for me. Years later when I'm in need of a wife, I hear she's in a desperate situation. I've never forgotten her kindness and now it's my turn to repay a debt. But the fake marriage between us isn't supposed to lead to real feelings. It certainly isn't supposed to spark this protective desire I feel toward her or her young son. Natalie Appearances can be deceiving. Being beautiful when I was younger was an advantage. Until my father married me off to a cruel rancher who kept me under lock and key. Now I'm a widow but getting away from the farm was an act of survival. I’m trying to figure out what to do while I’m seven months pregnant and have a young son. The only thing I’ve ever been is a cowboy’s wife. With my funds and my hope dwindling, I apply for one of those little ads to be another man’s wife. A temporary marriage just until I can get on my feet will be enough. But Cade isn’t what I expected. The man is kind. He’s good to my son and he spoils me. Too bad I’ve already been down this road before. I know what happens when you fall in love with a cowboy. If you want a pregnant widow romance with a gentle cowboy who’s determined to win the heart of this hurting woman, then it’s time to meet Cade in The Cowboy’s Sweetheart. The Scott Brothers are fierce cowboys in need of mail order brides so they can claim their rightful inheritance. But that’s not the only thing these rough and dirty cowboys plan to claim! Each book in the Courage County Brides series is standalone with NO cheating and NO cliffhangers. Just a sweet, sexy HEA so you can get your swoon on.
