Tenacious Trudy

Sweet Historical Western Romance

A nurse trying to dodge an arranged marriage, a doctor seeking true love, and his mail-order marriage proposal…

Dr. Rory Jude is tired of coming in second — second in his father’s affections, second-in-line to run the family business, and the second choice of his fiancée who always seems to have her eye on a wealthier prospective groom. Seeking a fresh start, he leaves the city to open a doctor's office out west. He finds himself in a town desperately short of marriageable women, until a chance encounter with a mail-order bride agency owner opens his eyes to another way to find a wife.

Convinced she's destined for greater things, Trudy Crandall skips her debutante season in order to attend the Boston School of Nursing. After she graduates, her family tries to rein in her bluestocking tendencies by pressuring her into an arranged marriage. To sever her financial dependence on them, she begs the Boomtown Mail Order Brides Agency to find her a husband who will support her dream of becoming a nurse. To her surprise, they claim to have the perfect groom in mind to make all her wishes come true!

Heartwarming historical romance with a dash of humor, a twist of intrigue, and a happily-ever-after! Each title in this series can be read as a standalone.
