Lina Sterling loves her family enough to leave them. They’re struggling to scrape out a living on the cruel, unforgiving streets of 19th century Boston, and Lina can’t find a job. The only way she can support her family is to find a rich husband somewhere - and the East is chronically low on men. Her only choice is to head out West on a train in order to marry a man she’s never met. Hotah, a Lakota warrior, still grieves the death of his beloved wife. His mother Wichapi tells him that he needs to take another bride - especially for his baby daughter’s sake.

Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the Western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with. Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, a redeemed Indian captive like himself. Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa.

A wonderful story of friendship!

Publisher's Summary
Can a grieving ranch owner find new love with a bride from New York?
When Elan Beauregard’s best friend brings him a mail order bride to be his fiancée, Elan is outraged. Yet, he cannot very well send the woman away, so she temporarily settles into his household. Elan is surprised when his eight-year-old foster daughter, Kate, bonds with the lovely stranger quickly.
Mail order bride Juliana Wills is mortified to discover she is supposed to marry a hard-bitten man who clearly does not like her. She is drawn to his little girl, however, and easily communicates with Kate who is deaf. But after a difficult two weeks, Juliana packs her things and leaves.
Kate is distraught, and Elan goes to bring Juliana back, realizing that perhaps he was hasty in his judgement. In truth, he’s growing fond of Juliana. One of Elan’s maids is secretly in love with her boss and does her best to get rid of Juliana. When Kate suddenly goes missing, the maid accuses Juliana of foul play.
Where is Kate? How can Elan find a little girl lost in the wilderness? Is Juliana the supreme manipulator, or did the maid harm Kate out of vindictiveness?

changed my mind about a sub genre
More like 3.5 the ending was a bit confusing. This book changed my mind about historical romance and that's an achievement in itself. I rated this higher because I really liked the voice and writing style.
