Author Note (#u2a1a8879-ccb4-56e3-9e77-86425ba6b06e)

I’ve always loved Westerns, and when I started writing historical romance Western settings were the natural choice. The idea behind His Mail-Order Bride is simple: a young woman on the run assumes another woman’s identity—an action that lands her in trouble and leads to difficult moral choices.

Charlotte Fairfax is a complex heroine. Born to wealth but then deprived of every security she is accustomed to, she needs to evolve from a naïve, innocent heiress into a resourceful young woman who is able to support herself in the frontier region.

In contrast with Charlotte, Thomas Greenwood is a straightforward hero. He has had a tough life, filled with rejection and hard work. All he wants is a woman of his own. A wife. A companion. Someone to love. Someone to help with the chores.

When the dainty, whimsical Charlotte turns up instead of the sturdy mail-order bride Thomas has been expecting his life turns into chaos—in more ways than one.

In the opening scene of His Mail-Order Bride you’ll meet Charlotte’s sisters: the feisty, daring Miranda and the clever but highly strung Annabel. They deserved their own stories, which have became a trilogy—The Fairfax Brides. And at the end of Annabel’s story comes a solution to the family feud that has forced the girls to flee to the West.

I hope you enjoy His Mail-Order Bride and will want to go on to read Miranda and Annabel’s stories.
