Secondhand Bride
Lorelei Hastings waits at the Trinity Hill train depot for Arthur Teasdale, the man who paid for her to be his mail-order bride. Instead, she gets blacksmith and livery owner Daniel Carpenter. Seems Teasdale ordered up two brides and already laid claim to bride #1.
Albeit miffed at being discarded, Lorelei goes home with Daniel to his place outside of town, where he lives with his young son. Lorelei and little Davy hit it off right away, but Daniel is a tougher nut to crack. Just when they are starting to communicate, Teasdale demands Lorelei be his bride because he and the other woman didn’t gel.
Now Lorelei’s got two prospective husbands and the choice is hers.
A quick, pleasurable read. Another winner from author Celia Yeary who pens books that make you feel like you’ve visited her Texas.
