FAITH:
Tyndale House – October 1998
With the matrimonial prospects in her little Michigan town virtually nonexistent, nineteen-year-old Faith—along with her two sisters, Hope and June—answers an ad for mail-order brides. Before she knows it, she's on her way to Deliverance, Texas, determined to make a success of her marriage to wealthy rancher Nicholas Shepherd. But from the moment she arrives in Deliverance, sparks begin to fly between Faith, a strong-willed tomboy, and her prospective husband—a man with a pretty strong will of his own! Then there's Liza, Nicholas's mother, who is anything but thrilled that her son has chosen a mail-order bride. After a string of wedding postponements and a slew of interfering people, a union between Nicholas and Faith begins to look less and less likely. In the meantime, Faith and Nicholas are beginning to care for one another—but is their matching stubbornness destined to forever be a barrier between them? Order this book from Amazon.com

JUNE:
Tyndale House – April 1999
Like her sister before her, June leaves her Michigan home to embrace her future as a mail-order bride: partner and helpmate to a young Washington State pastor. But from the start, nothing works out as June expects. Caught up in her fiancé's vision for an elaborate tabernacle that would benefit God's glory, she soon learns that not everyone approves of the plan. Most opposed is the hardheaded Parker Sentell, who secretly favors supporting the bedraggled group of orphans in the local orphanage. June's friend Samantha and her aging aunt run the orphanage, and June finds the orphans a natural outlet for her generous, nurturing spirit. But the two projects seem incompatible, and June finds herself faced with difficult choices—choices that challenge both her faith and her heart. Order this book from Amazon.com

THE BRIDE OF JOHNNY MCALLISTER Avon Historical September 1999 |
Accused of a crime he didn't commit, rough and rugged Johnny McAllister wants vengeance, pure and simple—and a release
from his year-long-sentence to remain in the duty, one-horse town of Barren Flats. But suddenly nothing is simple when he gazes into Ragan Ramsey's beautiful, guileless eyes.
Entrusted into Ragan's company, Johnny finds himself sitting down to dinner with the smartest, prettiest, most kissable lady in town—and thinking about all sorts of crazy things, like having a permanent place to hang his hat and a family of his own. These are certainly not the thoughts any self-respecting drifter should be having—but the wary Miss Ramsey is a temptation no red-blooded male could resist. And although the innocent beauty will have no part of him, is it possible she'll succeed where all others have failed...and make an honest man of Johnny McAllister? Order this book from Amazon.com
