A grumpy-but-sweet hero. A mail-order bride with nowhere left to turn. A small-town western romance about courage, family, and second chances at love.
When widowed U.S. Marshal Dan Crawford takes a chance on a mail-order marriage, love is the last thing he expects. Known across the Colorado frontier as the Widowmaker, the stoic lawman has buried his heart beneath duty and devotion to his little girl. But when his new bride steps off the stagecoach, everything he thought he'd buried stirs to life again.
Lily Bishop, a scandal-shadowed Southern belle, hopes a marriage of convenience will offer safety and redemption. Instead, she finds herself falling for a quiet marshal whose rough edges hide unexpected tenderness. But Lily is haunted by the past and afraid to trust.
As danger from past and present closes in, Dan and Lily must risk their hearts for a future they never imagined.
Set against the mountain vistas and tight-knit community of Buckhorn Gap, The Widowmaker's Bride is western historical romance fiction filled with courage, healing, and the timeless power of love.
