A desperate escape. A new beginning in Texas. Can trust and love blossom after a lifetime of fear?
Josephine Nailor will do anything to protect herself and her best friend from the oppressive fathers who control their lives. When a newspaper ad offers hope, the two young women seize the chance to flee their tiny hometown for Richmond, and ultimately, a new life in Tarnation, Texas. With the help of the wealthy and kind-hearted Lydia Harrison, Josephine and six other women join the Bride Brigade, each hoping for safety and a fresh start.Michael Buchanan, mayor and owner of the local mercantile, is proud of his growing town but longs for a partner to share his life. When he meets Josephine, he's immediately drawn to her spirit and beauty. But Josephine's painful past has left her wary-especially of men in power. As attraction grows between them, Josephine must decide if she can let go of old fears and embrace the happiness she deserves.
Will Josephine's mistrust keep her from a future with Michael, or will love help her find the courage to claim her place in Tarnation?
Perfect for readers who love western historical romance, mail order bride romance, Texas frontier romance, strong heroine stories, small town romance series, second chance at happiness, and found family romance.
