Prairie Promises

by Kelly Eileen Hake

The bride bargain. "Stranded along the Oregon Trail and alone except for her widowed aunt, Clara Fields faces a daunting situation. Yet a storekeeper's bargain - a house in trade for a wife - offers a quick release from the hardship. Or does it? Clara soon discovers that her easy redemption brings new problems of its own in the form of a stubborn suitor and troubled hearts. The bride backfire. "Opal Speck thinks she's saving a man's life - simply by speaking up. What results from her decision, however, is far from simple and ends up complicating both her life and his. Opal's confession - that Adam Grogan is the father of her unborn child - brings about a shotgun wedding, but will it resolve the underlying conflict? The bride blunder. "Marguerite Chandler heads out west expecting to meet her awaiting - and pleased - fiance. She finds confusion instead, as Gavin Miller, mistaking Marge for her cousin of the same name, ordered the wrong bride. Now Gavin and his would-be-bride must sort through the confusion and deal with the unexpected arrival of the right cousin.
