Book Description
I’m a grumpy loner cowboy and I like it that way. Until my beautiful mail order bride arrives and suddenly, I want more than a marriage in name only. Ethan I’m not exactly Mr. Hearts and Flowers. I mean, I was at one point in my life. Back before I discovered my wife was cheating on me in front of the whole town. Oh, and the baby she was carrying wasn’t even mine. So, to say that my late grandfather insisting that marriage is a requirement for claiming my rightful inheritance doesn’t exactly have me jumping for joy. But it’s too late because my mail order bride is already on her way. I have every intention of making this marriage in name only. Should be simple and easy enough…until I lay eyes on Valentine. She’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen and I’m instantly in love. But are the scars from my past too much for a ray of sunshine like her? Valentine Yep, I was born on Valentine’s Day and yeah, it is a dorky name. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t believe in family and love and forever. Sure, I was a foster kid who never knew those things. But I want to. That’s why I signed up to be a mail order bride. Looking at Ethan, I know that we can make this work if he’ll just give me a chance. He seems determined to close himself off, but maybe for the first time, I can convince someone I’m worth keeping. Will this lonely cowboy finally let me inside? Or are we doomed to keep this as a marriage in name only? 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.

Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Beatrice Ojakangas, the oldest of ten children, came by it naturally—the cooking but also the pluck and perseverance that she's served up with her renowned Scandinavian dishes over the years. In the wake of the Moose Lake fires and famine of 1918, Ojakangas tells us in this delightful memoir-cum-cookbook, her grandfather sent for a Finnish mail-order bride—and got one who’d trained as a chef. Ojakangas’s stories, are, unsurprisingly, steeped in food lore: tales of cardamom and rye, baking salt cake at the age of five on a wood-burning stove, growing up on venison, making egg rolls for Chun King, and sending off a Pillsbury Bake Off–winning recipe without ever making it. And from here, how those early roots flourished through hard work and dedication to a successful (but never easy) career in food writing and a much wider world, from working for pizza roll king Jeno Paulucci to researching food traditions in Finland and appearing with Julia Child and Martha Stewart—all without ever leaving behind the lessons learned on the farm. As she says, “first you have to start with good ingredients and a good idea.” Chock-full of recipes, anecdotes, and a kind humor that bring to vivid life the Finnish culture of northern Minnesota as well as the wider culinary world, Homemade delivers the savory and the sweet in equal measures and casts a warm light on a rich slice of the country’s cooking heritage.
