Smoke River Bride

MAIL-ORDER MARRIAGE

It’s whispered in Smoke River that single father Thad MacAllister is a few quarters short of a dollar: his ambitious plans for his farm are downright crazy and his young son is heading off the rails. This family needs a woman’s touch! But the arrival of Leah Cameron, Thad’s mail-order bride, causes a ripple of disapproval.

Oregon is a far cry from China, and to make her dream of family come true Leah will have to win over the townsfolk… and unlock the secrets of her husband’s shattered heart.
