Luckily, with a bit of encouragement, he tries again...Orphaned at sixteen and years later jilted at the altar, Charise Willoughby just wants to get out of her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, and find somewhere to start fresh and leave her painful memories behind. But, how can a single, young woman do that unaccompanied, with no money saved and few prospects? Would she even have the courage to travel alone, not knowing what awaits her at the other end? Her best friend has an idea-become a mail-order-bride Finn and Charise begin a friendly correspondence and find they have much in common. Having learned from his previous attempt, Finn intends to come to Louisville to meet her-but catastrophe strikes What will Charise do if she's left at the altar again?

Venessa Vargas, Editor and AuthorAn incredible love story Linda brings the characters to life with the first stroke of her pen. Although I love the story for the romance, it's so much more. Drama, heartache, jealousy, humor, surprises and even an outlaw contribute to this amazing tale. A must read for anyone who craves good, clean, love stories.
