Mail Order Beatrice

Beatrice "Attie" Kendall has endured more hardship in her twenty years than most see in a lifetime. Fleeing a dangerous home with her six-week-old son, she finds refuge in Atlanta and the help of a matchmaker. Attie dreams of a safe, loving home and a fresh start—especially with a friend nearby. When she arrives in Texas, her new husband and his welcoming home seem almost too good to be true. But can she truly trust that her luck has changed? Tate Merritt never planned to marry, but he gives in to his grandfather's wishes out of loyalty and gratitude. He's stunned when his mail-order bride arrives with a baby in her arms. Attie is nothing like the wife he imagined, and her shifting stories make it hard for Tate to trust her. As obstacles mount and secrets threaten their fragile peace, Attie and Tate must learn to rely on each other to protect their new family. Will honesty and hope be enough for two wounded souls to build a lasting love? Perfect for readers who love western historical romance, mail order bride stories, Texas frontier tales, marriage of convenience romance, found family journeys, secret baby plots, strong heroines, and uplifting stories of healing and hope.
