Publisher's summary

As a servant in a wealthy household, Emelia Brandon is subject to hard work, little food, and great hardship. She has no choice but to become a mail order bride, flee west to Arizona, and marry a man she’s never seen.

Christmas is coming, and she prays she’ll celebrate it with someone she loves.

On the train, Harley Willard meets a pair of young, beautiful ladies. One, he’s astonished to find out, is promised to marry his own ranch manager. The other, Emelia, fascinates him, but he’s vowed to never marry again.

When the train is stranded in Spring Valley, Texas, Emelia seeks refuge at Harley’s ranch. She likes him, but she must leave soon for Arizona. She fears her true happiness and true love are not in Arizona, but in Texas.

What happens next is a tale of bad guys, adventure, love unexpected, and hope renewed.

Sweet Wholesome Christmas Story

Emilia is an orphan that works as a main in a wealthy household, but when she accidentally drops her tray, the man she works for gets angry and threatens her. She decides to become a mail order bride after her best friend suggests it. On her way to her new life, she meets Harley on the train. Harley is a widower with a young daughter. He’s not looking for love or marriage but finds himself drawn to Emilia. The story is a nice warm wholesome Christmas story.
