Six Award-Winning Authors have contributed new stories to A Timeless Romance Anthology: Mail Order Bride Collection, now a USA TODAY Bestseller! Six historical romance novellas set in the Old West.

In Written in Her Heart, a charming novella by Stacy Henrie, Georgeanna is getting desperate. She can't fund her favorite orphanage unless she marries and secures the rest of her inheritance left by her father. But her father's financial planner, Clay, can't understand why she's not content with her current situation. Georgie determines to send out a notice as a mail order bride to attract suitors who won't know her financial situation. Little does she know, Clay takes up the pen and sends her letters of his own under an assumed name.

In Kristin Holt's delightful novella Wanted: Midwife Bride Dr. Naomi Thornton thinks she has it all: a beautiful house, a loving husband, and a fulfilling career. But when everything she holds dear is ripped away, Naomi has no choice but to start over. What will she find in the wild and untamed Wyoming Territory?

In The Sound of Home, a captivating novella by Annette Lyon, Marilyn is given the choice of either marrying the despicable Victor or being charged with a murder she didn't commit. Refusing to believe that either is her fate, she finds a third option: she answers a mail order bride advertisement and boards a train to Wyoming to wed a man named Harry. Moments after her arrival, she learns that Harry isn't who he seemed to be, and the advertisement turns out to be a giant mistake.

In Sarah M. Eden's endearing novella For Better or Worse Gerald Smith, on the advice of his well-meaning neighbors, has decided it's time to change his lonely existence. Mary Hill, on the advice of her empty pocketbook and non-existent roof over her head, has decided it's time to secure herself a future. A mail-order marriage, they both realize, is no guarantee of happiness, but it is a risk they are willing to take.

Heather B. Moore's sweet novella The Inconvenient Bride sees Carmela traveling from Boston to Colorado, eager to meet the man she's been corresponding with and will soon marry. Her brother's new marriage leaves little room for Carmela in her old life. Upon arrival in Leadville, she faces a rude awakening, and the only one who can understand her predicament is her fiance's brother, Samuel.

The Price of Silver, an engaging novella by Siân Ann Bessey, Katie leaves New York for Idaho to marry Jake, a man she's written to a couple of times. But when she steps off the train, his brother Caleb is there to greet her. Jake has gone to take a mining job he couldn't pass up. Caleb takes Katie back to the family ranch to wait for Jake's return.

Six are better than one!!!

What is better than 1 mail order bride story—6 stories!! These short stories are from the best authors and have the most creative plots filled with humor, adventure, and some unexpected twists to keep you listening. The narrator was amazing! Her voices were all so unique and fresh—I felt like I was watching g a movie! This was such a treat to listen to as I went about my day—kept me smiling for a long time.

Great stories and a fantastic narrator.

Great stories and a fantastic narrator! Her voice is sweet and calming. Hope she narrates more westerns, and she tries regency too. Some of the narrators they pick for that genre are just terrible.

Absolutely love

What an adorable, wholesome collection! I only wish each story was longer... but at the same time, there was no long, unnecessarily drawn out story line!

Nice collection

I'll give this one a 4 although some individual stories might have been a 3 for me. Overall I liked it well enough though. I can't imagine being willing to be a mail order bride and take a chance on being shackled to someone horrible. But this book showed differing situations that might make that tempting or even the only alternative. And of course the men they end up with are all Mr. Wonderful.

Good narration from Christa Lewis

Clean overall excepting the drunken bawdiness of the wild west and one interruption of a inappropriate make out scene that rather surprised me and really wasn't needed to progress the story. Simply becoming engaged would have been sufficient to move the story along. (less)

Precious!!!

Enjoyed the easy listening and sweet romantic stories of wild west mail order brides!! enjoyed

Great Collection!

Such fun stories and interesting situations with each bride finding her own happy ending. Wonderful getaway daydreams to enjoy on a quiet afternoon!

Very Sweet

I loved listening to these short stories. I've become addicted to the Novellas, and I love that they are all clean, yet filled with romance.

Excellent Collection

I downloaded this selection because I’ve enjoy Stacy Henrie books. This collection of novellas offers a diversity in plots and characters. The quality of writing makes me want to read Holt, Lyon, Eden and Moore. They are all PG13 rated. Christa Lewis did an excellent narration.

Great stories

What an awesome collection of stories. I loved them all! The narrator did such a great job too!

Great Collection

This was a lovely collection! I loved hearing the different ways a Mail Order Bride could happen in the old west!
