A Second Chance Bride to Embrace

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Maisie thinks of herself as a tough, resourceful woman, and that's about to be put to the test. After leaving her abusive husband and making off with all the cash she can carry, her only goal is to stay out of sight and survive. Then she learns her husband is six feet under. She should be able to relax, only she fears she will be blamed for his murder. So she hops a train and finds herself as a Bridal Train Bride.

Henry Cartwright loves tending the land, growing crops and raising animals for market, though it's a lonely life. When his family urges him to take a wife, he can't think of anything he has to offer a woman besides hard work, but he settles on a Bridal Train Bride. Maisie is soft-spoken and reserved, leaving Henry thinking of her as a frightened animal, and he longs to set her at ease.

With newfound freedom and peace in her heart at long last, Maisie wonders if she was wrong about all men being the same. Maybe this one deserves a chance—and a bit of the kindness he doles out to her so easily. When problems arise on the farm, they're forced to work together and fight for the life they share. It just might be time for Maisie to dig up that satchel full of money she buried out back.
