The Bride Who Invades Saloons

A bride scarred by the past refuses to enter a future that offers nothing more than what she left behind. Is the groom who missed greeting her when she stepped off the train forever too late?

Fiona O’Rourke thought the marriage arranged through the mail would not only help eliminate the financial strain on her family but also provide a chance at a happy family of her own. She took care not to choose a man likely to develop the weakness that left her childhood family destitute and struggling—and her scarred. When she first meets her intended, she quickly concludes she made a terrible mistake.

Anthony Bellamy eagerly sought a wife, and went to great lengths to prepare, including dressing to put his best foot forward. Unfortunately, after arriving early to the train depot to claim his bride, he made a foolish mistake by allowing an associate distract him with a business proposal. After not being there to greet her when she steps off the train, can he salvage the relationship with Fiona?
