CHRISTIAN ROMANCE: A Rancher's Love (CLEAN Western Historical Christian Romance) (Mail Order Bride Inspirational Short Stories)

Gracie Madden lives an uncertain life in Massachusetts. She’s the oldest orphan at St. Bart’s Orphanage and only lives there to help with the work for the other orphans. When Trent Baxter’s advertisement makes its way to her attention she’s instantly taken by the idea of meeting a real life cowboy.

Trent Baxter is a man’s man. He likes dirt and anything that has to do with it, including the horses and cattle he raises on his ranch in Midland, Texas. Unfortunately, the unrest through the nation over the issue of slavery puts Trent smack dab in the middle. With a little girl in tow, who desperately needs a mother, he’s literally between a rock and a hard place. As only one of a handful of ranchers that have hired freed men, he strongly opposes slavery, much to the chagrin of many of the people around him. This makes it even more difficult for Trent to find a wife.

When he advertises for a wife back east, he isn’t expecting the number of replies he gets and feels overwhelmed… until he reads Gracie Madden’s reply. Moved by her words he sends her a telegram, even though he fears he’s asking for a high maintenance woman. Will Gracie surprise Trent with her willingness to learn and the acceptance she shows his daughter, or will Gracie play the snob Trent fears?
