Book 2

Stand-In Wife

Russ Halloway's mail-order bride never boarded the bride train! In her place is recently widowed Anna Darby Linford, sister of the last woman to jilt Russ. He's surprised to see Anna again-and stunned when he discovers she's pregnant. Marrying Anna seems the right thing to do...especially since love continues to evade him.

Anna hopes Russ will help her find employment-becoming a wife again never even crossed her mind. Yet as she struggles to start over in the small town, Anna forges a genuine connection with Russ. When secrets from her past threaten Russ's future in politics, can they protect their family in the making?

Return to Cowboy Creek: A bride train delivers the promise of new love and family to a Kansas boom town.
