Mail-Order Victoria

A widow determined to protect her child. A widower desperate for help. Can love grow when secrets and trouble threaten their fragile trust?

Widow Victoria Bailey will do anything to keep her in-laws from taking her eighteen-month-old daughter. Becoming a mail-order bride and starting over on a Texas ranch seems like her only chance at safety and peace—even if she doesn't have time to warn her new groom she's bringing a child. Surely no man could object to one perfect little girl.

Widower Greg Hardy is overwhelmed by the demands of ranch life and raising five children on his own. He needs help—and fast. When he sends for a mail-order bride, he omits the fact that he has a bustling household, hoping not to scare her away. When Victoria arrives with her daughter, their marriage begins with misunderstandings and surprises on both sides.

As cattle rustlers threaten their livelihood, Victoria and Greg must learn to trust each other and work together to protect their family. Will the fight for survival bring them closer, or will secrets and hardship tear them apart?

Perfect for readers who love western historical romance, mail order bride romance, Texas frontier romance, blended family stories, marriage of convenience romance, protective hero tales, and uplifting second chance love stories.
