The Rancher's Unexpected Bride
(2023)(The third book in the Hope House Brides series)
A novel by Malory Ford
When Paige Brown was forced to step up and clear her sister Mara's name, she found her voice in a way she'd never had to before. Now, determined to make her way in the world without Mara's sacrifice, Paige answers a mail-order bride letter to Mud Lake, Colorado in the hopes she'll have the same luck as the other brides from Hope House.
Riley Hart's life is exactly how he prefers it. The foreman on the Pratt ranch, he spends his days herding cattle, putting out fires (sometimes real ones), and spending time with his niece and nephew. That is, until a woman with an independent streak and gorgeous brown eyes shows up in Mud Lake claiming to be his mail order bride.
When Paige arrives in town to a shocked Riley claiming he never sent for a bride, she uses every bit of her newfound courage to make her own way in the world working as a cook at the cafe and refusing help from anyone and everyone. Riley's torn, as he feels a responsibility to the infuriatingly beautiful woman despite being nowhere near ready to marry. Sparks fly between them as Fall descends on Mud Lake, but Riley's soon got bigger problems when news of a tragedy aboard a ship in Boston brings up ghosts of his past and leaves him at the greatest crossroads of his life.
Will Riley and Paige overcome their less-than-ideal circumstances to build a love that lasts, or will Paige get caught in the crossfire?
Genre: Inspirational
