Kaki Warner · Runaway Brides #1
A mail-order bride and her rancher husband have 3 months to annul their marriage — if they still want to.
Description
First in a wonderful new historical series starring four unlikely brides who make their way West.Edwina Ladoux hoped becoming a mail-order bride would be her way to a better life, but as soon as she arrives in Breakheart, Colorado, and meets Declan Brodie and his four rambunctious children, she realizes she's made a mistake. Luckily, Edwina and Declan agreed on a three- month courtship period, which should give them time to get the proxy marriage annulled. Except that as the weeks pass, thoughts of annulment turn into hopes for a real marriage-until Declan's first wife suddenly returns.
