Brides of Buckhorn Gap Series
Together, the Buckhorn Gap books convey a story world that is almost its own character, but each book can be enjoyed as a standalone.
Book 1 — The Widowmaker’s Bride
When Lily Bishop agrees to become a mail-order bride, she is not looking for romance — only safety and a future she can survive. But Buckhorn Gap’s widowed marshal is harder to keep at a distance than she expected, his little girl is impossible not to love, and the secrets Lily carried west soon place them all in danger. Protecting her may begin as Dan Crawford’s duty. Falling in love with her is another matter entirely.
