✦ Synopsis

MAIL-ORDER BRIDES OF THE WEST is a collaborative series by USA Today bestselling author Caroline Fyffe and New York Times bestselling author Debra Holland.

Mail-order-bride-to-be Heather Stanford dreads the day the matron of the St. Louis bridal agency finds her a husband and sends her west. Heather actually has no desire to marry; she just wants to free her struggling family from the financial burden of another mouth to feed. Still, she holds true to her plan when the fateful day arrives and Mrs. Seymour sings the praises of her prospective groom. Heather girds herself to leave behind all she holds dear, and wonders if anyone can live up to the matron's glowing description.

After a mill accident leaves Hayden Klinkner's father injured, he's faced with the challenge of a huge order to fill--short-handed--on a tight timeline. Further complicating matters, the handsome, dyed-in-the-wool bachelor discovers his meddling mother has a surprise to share with him--a wife! With the pressure he's under, a wife--even one as lovely and suitable as Heather Stanford--is the last thing he needs. Y Knot, Montana is set abuzz when the "Mail-Order Bride Done Wrong" goes back on the market and every eligible man for miles around is interested. Hayden's eyes are now opened, but can he convince Heather he's a changed man? Can he win back her heart before she says "I do" with someone else?

See Debra Holland's companion book Mail-Order Brides of the West: Lina to find out what happens to Heather's friend and fellow mail-order bride when she travels to Sweetwater Springs, Montana to become the wife of widower Jonah Barrett.

From the Author

People often ask what inspires me. What gets my thought process humming so I can write? The answer is everywhere I go and everything I see. Every conversation seems to have me thinking, that needs to go into a book. I spent my childhood reading such greats as Jack London, Zane Grey, Emily Brontë, to name just a few. I always had a novel in my hands. Then, in high school, I discovered Rosemary Rogers and was hooked on romance, particularly western romances. Regular trips to the bookstore netted me wonderful authors such as Lavyrle Spencer, Catherine Anderson, Jodi Thomas, and Dorothy Garlock. Just thinking about all those wonderful books has me giddy.

After I married, and before I discovered I had a multitude of western historical romances bubbling inside me just waiting to pop out, I became a professional equine photographer--a career that lasted twenty years. Growing up with horses, and in the West, I found it a natural progression. If any of you have ever been to a horse show, you'll understand when I say that the photographer has a pretty lonely job. Most hours are spent alone in the arena, snapping horses and equestrians as they are put through their paces. During that time, I fleshed out plots in my head, plus developed the charming yet sexy characters of the McCutcheon family and dyed-in-the-wool loner Chase Logan.

I'm an easy target for a sweet romance, filled with sexual tension, lively banter, and men and women who will surprise as well as inspire and touch your heart. Writing is a joy when each moment takes me to another place, another time. One filled with wonder, beauty, joy, romance and love!
