An orphan travels West to meet a lonely widower and his child. Will they find each other’s heart in this new wild world?

Theresa Doe never knew her parents. Abandoned on the day she was born, all she has ever known is life in the orphanage with the Sisters of Holy Mercy. For seventeen years she’s lived with hunger and cold, her faith the only thing to sustain her. But now a lonely widower out west has put out a call for a wife and Theresa has been chosen to go to him.

Henry Forth is a restrained and taciturn rancher in the Colorado Territories. He has struggled to build his ranch into a success and is in need of a woman to be his wife, the lady of his house, and a mother to his three-year-old child.

Theresa now must travel from her home in Pennsylvania to the wild west of the Colorado Territories, to live with the quiet Mr. Forth. In the shadow of the Rocky Mountains there is no law. Bandits lurk in the forests and danger waits on the horizon.

In this strange and dangerous place Theresa must transform from an orphan to a wife, even though she has no knowledge of married life.

The Mistrusting Maid and the Prairie Preacher by Jenny Creek Tanner

The Mistrusting Maid and the Prairie Preacher – Book 3 of the Mail Order Brides For Cowboy Preachers (Clean Christian Western Romance) by Jenny Creek Tanner

Caroline Stephens was headstrong and determined. . .

At least those were the two words her father had used to describe her, but when it came to men she’d learned to hold back.

˃˃˃ Working as a maid had been the last thing she wanted to do for the rest of her life. . .

She’d always fancied getting married like her sister Edna had, but she hadn’t been as lucky in love. After their father had passed away the previous year things had been difficult but that was all changing now as she approached the town where she’d meet the man she’d agreed to marry. It would take them time to ease into life together, that was expected.
But how long would that take? And what if he wasn’t the same man as she’d come to know in the letters he’d sent?

˃˃˃ It had taken Leon Shaw a year of working all sorts of odd jobs to establish his ministry. . .

Now, though, he was reaping the rewards. The men seemed to understand the stories he shared about Christ and were giving their lives to the Lord.
He’d considered all aspects of life on the prairie, and the one thing he lacked was a wife with which to share his life. Exchanging letters back and forth with Caroline had been a blessing. He’d started to feel connected to her in a way he hadn’t expected.

Was it possible to fall in love with someone through their words? Because if it was possible, he would think he was in love with Miss Caroline Stephens.

But will a case of mistaken identity cause Caroline to lose the trust in Leon, and threaten to destroy their young marriage?

Will Leon be able to discover the source of Caroline’s doubt, and regain her trust as her husband, and as a man of God?

Will a surprise from Leon’s past help him heal, and help Caroline understand her doubts?

And will God bless Caroline and Leon in a way neither expected?
