ROMANCE: MAIL ORDER BRIDE: To Have and To Hold (Sweet Western Historical Romance) (Victorian Clean Romance Short Stories)

Annie McIver has essentially been banished from Massachusetts. Her father has done something so terrible, she can never go back. Instead, she seeks a new life in Wide Bend in the New Mexico Territory as a mail-order bride.

When she steps off the train and finds her promised husband is nothing but an evil criminal, he’s soon shot down right near her feet. She’s left with little choice but to try to make the best of Wide Bend and its quirky frontier folk.

As it happens, the would-be husband knew nothing of his bride, because the letter was actually the invitation of the mad “Mayor” McGrath, grandfather to one long-time bachelor by the name of Garret McGrath. Garret has tried to swear off love, as he wants to live an independent life.

Can the equally stubborn Annie tame Garret's wild heart and help him discover love once more?
