The Bachelors of Aspen Valley
3 primary works
Book 1
The Bachelor Meets His Match
No women are allowed at the Batchwell Bottoms mining camp-yet Dr. Sumner Havisham headed West seeking a job there. When an avalanche strands her and several mail-order brides, she's up against strict rules-and stern mine superintendent Jonah Ramsey. But nothing will stop her-especially from helping Jonah, who needs her healing in more ways than one.
For Jonah, his job is a refuge from his past. He has good reasons to stay far away from the spirited Sumner, especially since he thinks he has nothing to offer. But as tensions rise, her caring and skill ignites a love he'd never thought he'd find. Can they save the dreams they've worked so hard for-and claim a life together?
Book 2
Make-Believe Marriage
When newborn twins are dropped on Charles Wanlass's doorstep - along with a note begging him to protect them - he knows he needs help to give them a proper home. The only solution: entering a marriage of convenience with mail-order bride Willow Granger. But soon the handsome pastor longs for their make-believe family to become real...
Willow will do whatever it takes to keep her missing friend's babies safe. She's drawn to Charles's steadfast caring and honesty, but she's sure she doesn't have the proper background or courage to ever be a worthy wife or mother. But as danger closes in, she and Charles will risk everything to face down their fears - and turn their temporary home into a lifetime of love.
Book 3
Her Reluctant Lawman Match
Suffragist Lydia Tomlinson won't stand for the rule banning women from the Batchwell Bottoms mining camp...even if protesting it means "kidnapping" miners to use as leverage. And with Pinkerton Detective Gideon Gault guarding the mail-order brides, the women have chosen her to distract him. Now Lydia just has to pretend interest long enough to reach their goal...
Gideon promised to uphold the camp's code of conduct, but he's met his match in feisty Lydia. When a gang of outlaws threatens the town, he and Lydia must put their differences aside. And as they join forces to stop the thieves, he can't help but wish her protest will succeed...so she can stay by his side forever.
