Amelia

Here Come The Brides! Oh no! Something is definitely amiss! Hugh Jordon needs a wife. The severe shortage of women in the Pacific Northwest makes advertising for a bride seem reasonable. As long as he finds a wife who is the exact opposite of his tempestuous mother he'll be well satisfied. Studying the applicants, he chooses one who seems to best fit his needs and delegates his head clerk with the critical task of sending polite rejections to the others. Unfortunately, most of them never receive the letter Hugh anticipated and soon the future brides descend, all expecting to marry the same man, him! Now his brother's magnificent log cabin is packed full of young women. His bride, Amelia, is furious and feeling deceived. After all, she defied her father and left Massachusetts and her dearest friends to travel alone across the country! The camps are teaming with handsome lumberjacks willing to take a bride, but first they have to convince the angry women to marry them. There will be winners and losers. There will be schemes and dreams, betrayal and deceit. Rivalry and jealousy will arise. Hearts will be broken and loyal friendships born of the turmoil. Come along for the journey into a world of Mail Order Brides. It's a rocky road for some, and pure bliss for others. The nights on the mountain are long and lonely. Who will win the bride they so desire? Amelia is the first novel in The Marriage Market series. Her story is followed by Grace, Effie, Suzanna, and Martha.
