Mail Order Convenience
(2024)(The fourth book in the Mail-Order Matchmakers series)
A novel by Mildred Colvin
In 1881 Ohio, a widow can find no way to care for her children without help.
Her only option is to become a mail-order bride
Cynthia faces a bleak future after her husband is killed when he's found with another man's wife. His death leaves Cynthia to face old friends who turn away in disgust, not willing to admit she and her children are innocent victims. Her children suffer, and she will soon have no house to shelter them. She turns to her sister, who also turns her away.
Then a letter comes offering a way out.
Reed, the ranch foreman, is caring for his orphaned niece and nephew with the help of the ranch owner's wife. Cynthia's and Reed's children are near the same age, and quickly become fast friends, but the adults find their partnership more a business arrangement than a marriage.
Even as love grows, they deny and fight its existence.
Can Cynthia and Reed let go of their fears and stubborn pride long enough to find a lasting love, or will it take the threat of loss and trauma before they can see what is most important?
This is a clean and wholesome heartwarming tale of love finding a way despite the challenges of two stubborn people who want, but refuse, to accept what has been given to them. And at what point does the nagging notion that they've met before turn into a memory of earlier days?
Genre: Historical Romance
