A Novella by Lynn Donovan
She followed her heart to the frontier, only to find it wasn't hers to claim.
Jessica Peterson thought she had it all figured out. After caring for her parents, then her grandmother until their passing, Jessica answered an advertisement for a mail-order bride, hoping for a fresh start and a chance at love. Her journey takes her to Rattlesnake Ridge, Nevada, where she expects to meet her future husband, Solomon, the town blacksmith.
But fate has other plans. Upon arrival, Jessica discovers she's not the only bride-to-be in town. Another woman, Miriam, has stowed away on the same train, vying for Solomon's affections. As Jessica watches Solomon fall for her rival, she's left wondering: In a town where eligible men outnumber women, how is she the one left alone?
Now, Jessica must navigate the complexities of frontier life and her own heart. Will she find love among the cowboys and businessmen of Rattlesnake Ridge? Or will this vibrant, adaptable woman carve out a future for herself beyond what she ever imagined?
