Book 3 of The Texas Prairie Brides series concludes the saga of Florence Abbot’s journey to love and happiness. Mr. Acton Abbot isn’t happy at all about his beloved daughter’s decision to get a mail-order husband. He always hoped she would marry the son of another cattle baron. What if her new husband is some uncouth cattle puncher—or worse? In spite of all his warm feelings for Bill Bailey and Grant Ewing, he dreads the day his new son-in-law arrives on the ranch to steal his precious Florence away.
But Mr. Abbot gets a pleasant surprise when Foster Gregory shows up. The son of a steel tycoon from Back East, he appears on the surface to be everything Mr. Abbot ever dreamed of. Bill and Grant don’t think much of him, though. He’s got a long way to go before he’s ready to take over the ranch. They can hardly disguise their contempt when he first approaches them to ask them to show him the ropes. Only after he loses some of his big-city shine do they start to understand he’s sincere about learning the way of life on the Frontier.
Florence, on the other hand, falls instantly and madly in love with her new husband. He sweeps her off her feet, and she finds herself being transformed into someone she never thought possible. Where will her marriage take her? Will Foster take over the Double A Ranch, leaving Florence in her old place as queen of the castle? Or will they wind up getting drawn away into an unknown world of limitless horizons and unfathomable possibilities?

Amelias mail order husband by Kate Whitsby

In this second book of The Texas Brides Series, Amelia Goodkind marries Bruce Manfield from El Paso, Texas. When Amelia first brings Bruce home, Jude and Alma and Allegra laugh at him. He’s a big, gangly hulk of a man, but he’s clumsy and ungainly in his movements, unlike delicate, careful Amelia. Jude especially sees Bruce as an easy target for his pointed sense of humor. The sisters can’t figure out why Bruce doesn’t stand up to his much smaller brother-in-law, when he could put Jude in his place with a flick of his wrist. No amount of encouragement from anyone can prod Bruce into asserting himself. He even seems to go out of his way to bow to Jude’s will. Even Alma finds Jude’s behavior toward Bruce disturbing.
But no one on the Goodkind ranch knows that Bruce is hiding an explosive secret, one which will transform the relationships of this family forever. The introduction of another man into the family brings fresh complications to the fragile peace established after Jude’s arrival. Competing loyalties and affections breed conflicts and misunderstandings, until everyone stands against everyone else. Only Amelia’s unwavering faith in her new husband carries them through to the ultimate climax. In his last battle, Bruce finds a strength he never knew he had in Amelia’s love.
