Rose's Mail Order Brides And Grooms

Book excerpt: What If A Bride Needs A Mail Order Husband? It's 1898 on the Canadian prairie, and women's roles are strict and well-defined. But Rose is determined her friend Esther won't be shamed and left in the lurch. All she needs to do is locate Esther's beloved, Gabriel. And to do that, she needs an arrest warrant from the North West Mounted, and she knows how to get it. Not exactly mail order, but effective, nonetheless. But will Esther's father greet Gabriel with a shotgun? Esther's father is also Rose's boss, and he's anything but pleased with Rose's plotting. Will she lose her job? Rose relies on the new Reverend, Joel, to keep order and bloodshed to a minimum. And she's also finding him unnervingly attractive. But Rose has a dark, shameful secret that will prevent any romance with a reverend. WILL TRUE LOVE TRIUMPH? CAN ROSE'S PLAN RESULT IN HAPPILY EVER AFTER? She doesn't know what will come of her plans for Esther, but she does know she absolutely loves the danger, uncertainty and intrigue that comes with matching up woman and men, object--matrimony. She can see the potential for a business if she dares to flout convention and become a businesswoman at a time when women's roles are strictly confined to marriage and raising a family. IS SHE BRAVE ENOUGH TO VENTURE INTO A CAREER? And can she ever tell Joel the truth about her disgraceful secret??
