Jane – Book 6 Come By Chance Mail Order Brides of 1885


Book Description

A wild and fun Modern Miss, a Preacher with a mighty pair of conundrums, and an Outlaw turned politician who's out of control! Don't miss the exciting conclusion to the Come-By-Chance saga! When Jane Waters comes pedaling into town, she cycles slap bang into corruption, catastrophe, and some increasingly curious conundrums — not to mention, right on into the heart of the beloved Come-By-Chance preacher, Ernest James Coy. For Jane, a modern late 19th Century woman, marriage is something she must avoid at all costs. Her heart belongs to her calling, for Jane is a writer — and no mere man can be allowed to stand in the way of that. Not even such a good man as the Come-By-Chance preacher. As for Ernest Coy himself, he sees the new woman in town as the wildest, most dangerous, and wonderful woman he's known. But these are dangerous times, and the preacher must face, not just one, but twomighty conundrums — conundrums that threaten the future of not just himself, not just Jane Waters, and not just the Come-By-Chance townsfolk. No, this time, the evil Slim Jim Murdoch might well destroy the lives of everyone in Montana Territory — and perhaps, in time, even the entire country. A timeless story of the importance of love and respect — and the difficult choices good people must make, when faced with evil incarnate.

True Love and True Adventure in three exciting, romantic short stories of the Western Frontier! How Sweet the Sound - Cleve and Mary are just 7 years old and living at a Pittsburgh orphanage, when they say "I do" to each other, at a make-believe wedding. And they mean it, and what's more, believe themselves married in the eyes of the Lord. A year later, both are left heartbroken - Cleave is torn from Mary's arms and taken away, adopted by a family from Montana. Ten long years pass, and Cleve is too afraid even to love, his losses having hardened his heart. But Mary too has her problems - her arm has been crushed in a mangler, and she's been cast out into the street, almost penniless, to fend for herself. When Mary is shown a letter from a man who seeks a mail order bride, and sees that the man's name is Cleve, she knows it's a sign from the Lord - and that whether it's her Cleve or not, she knows she must go to the man. But Mary will need every bit of her faith to travel the path God has laid before her.

After the driver of their stagecoach dies, it's all up to Martha to get them the rest of the way - only trouble is, she's worked out how to get the horses running good and fast, but has no idea how to stop! When Montana rancher Frank Cassidy sees Martha come tearing past, her long hair flying behind in the wind, he just knows she's the right girl for him. But Frank's been telling some Little White Lies - and they just might turn out to be his undoing, and everyone else's as well. Sarah's Dream - English rose Sarah Cumberbatch receives an ultimatum from her parents - marry Lord Foppington's lazy, womanizing, good-for-nothing son, or be thrown into the street, penniless. Eager for adventure, she answers a newspaper advertisement from a rich Montana rancher, and travels across the high seas to meet him. Sarah soon has to deal with drunks, a coach accident, racial hatred, a hungry bear, wild men taking the law into their own hands, and more heartbreak than she ever expected. Will jealousy and racial hatred rob Sarah of her chance of happiness? Or might she find true love and finally, a real sense of family in the Wild, Wild West?

It might be the pride of hard work on rugged terrain, the welcoming community, or the memories—but wherever the folks of Morgantown may roam, they have a way of coming back to the ranch . . . There’s a reason Jackson Lymond left the Air Force, but he’s not telling a soul. He’d rather keep things simple, while trying to start a new life helping his older brother on their northern California ranch. At least Morgantown’s flirty local bartender can keep his mind off the past—that is, until he runs into Daisy Miller . . . Daisy doesn’t really expect Jackson to remember her. Back in school she did her best to blend in—and pretend she didn’t have five brothers who’d hogtie any boy who even looked at her. These days though, she and Jackson might have more in common than just their ranching relatives. After all, they both left home only to return. Trouble is, under the watch of her fiercely protective family, Daisy is longing for some privacy. Letting Jackson into her life could make that even more difficult—or it might be the second chance they’re both looking for . . . “Pearce’s fans and contemporary romance readers will want to pick this one up and read it to the end.” —Publishers Weekly
