Synopsis

Kat and Nell Sinclair are headed west—away from the manicured lawns of Maine to the boisterous, booming mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado to start new lives for themselves as mail-order brides.
 
Aboard the train, romantic dreamer Nell carries a photo of her intended close to her heart and imagines an exciting and love-filled future, while her pragmatic older sister Kat resigns herself to marriage as a duty, not a delight.
 
But when the ladies disembark at the train depot, neither fiancé Patrick Maloney or Judson Archer awaits them with open arms. The well-bred Sinclair sisters find themselves unexpectedly alone in the wild, frontier town—a place where fire threatens to reduce the buildings to rubble, the working women strut the streets, rogues will gamble for the shoes on one’s feet, and God’s grace is found amongst the most unlikely of folks.
 
Two sisters,
Two missing misters,
A shocking welcome to the wild west that leaves both Kat and Nell Sinclair questioning their dreams­ and the hope for true love.

A sweet clean historical romance set in the Colorado town of Cripple Creek in the late 1800's. I read it pretty much in the space of an afternoon - mostly while having my hair coloured. The author is a Christian and there is definitely a Christian element that runs through the thread of the story. W......more

This book surprised me (in a good way). It jumped right up and took off on an interesting story of two woman needed to find a marriage in the west. The trials didn’t leave them once they got there and there was one challenging event after another keeping these women from their goal. It wasn’t your nor......more
