Mountain Man's Abandoned Mail Order Bride
(2025)(A book in the Crescent Ridge Mail Order Brides series)
A novel by Jacqueline Carmine
Miranda is tired of failed relationships.
She's not getting any younger and her biological clock is ticking louder and louder with each passing year. Signing up for Pearl's Mail Order Brides seemed like a great idea after a bottle of red wine. Not so much when her fiancé insists on an impulsive camping trip the same day he picks her up at the airport. Worst idea ever by the time he abandons her after she refuses to have sex with him. He takes the only car, the tent, and all the supplies with him. She took a chance on love and like every time before it backfired.
Joe watches in awe as one by one all his friends meet their soulmate.
He knows that Pearl's Mail Order Brides app has worked miracles for his coworkers and friends, but he prefers to meet someone the old-fashioned way. A meet cute in a coffee shop or something similar. He wants love at first sight just like his parents. Something that seems impossible in a town like Crescent Ridge where the only single women are older than his grandmother. Then he gets a phone call asking him to check on a campsite near the mountain peak. A bad storm is rolling in and a group of campers insisted that they could handle the rough weather. It's Joe's job to check that they're properly prepared or encourage them to leave. But when he gets to the site, there's only one abandoned camper and with one look he knows that she is the one he's been waiting for all this time.
Miranda has sworn off men. Effective immediately. Can Joe convince her to give him a chance? Or will she leave Crescent Ridge and their chance at love behind forever?
Every novella in the Crescent Ridge Mail Order Brides Series is a standalone featuring a different couple with a guaranteed HEA, no cheating, and no OWD.
