There was no money left. She owed a mortgage she couldn't pay. There' wouldn't be enough money for food, and she had to figure out what to do? Her only answer was to find a husband that could help her. She needed someone that would stand beside her and help support her siblings. But who? So she went to town to find a husband. She run into Dal Odom. She knew him, but she was almost sure he would not remember her. So she boldy stepped up and asked him to marry. He refused her without any consideration, telling her she was too young. But Bonnie didn't give up, she kept right on asking different citizens of the town, all to no avail. But when Dal Odom learned that others were going to run her and her siblings off the land and take her water, he had other ideas. She had helped him once long ago, and now it was his turn to save her. He liked her, admired her for what she had accomplished, but heck, he never figured on falling for her.

      Rachel Landers went west to marry a man she'd been writing to. She was wearing her wedding dress, prepared to marry right away. When Buck Daggett introduced himself as Hershel Newton's friend and that he could take her up the mountain, Rachel was surprised. Would he also stand in for Hershel as a proxy? Once Buck agreed to take her and stand in for Hershel's wedding by proxy, they were off to climb the mountain. Buck outfitted her in riding clothes and they began the journey. Rachel never figured on outlaws and Indians, but they were stopped by both. The wedding went on without a hitch and they continued up the mountain. At one point Rachel nearly fell from a cliff, if it hadn't been for Buck's quick thinking it might have been the end. But the one thing she hadn't planned on was liking Buck so much. And when he kissed her, she could do nothing but respond. Now if she could just muster up some feelings for the man she just married she'd be alright. Rachel was in for a lot of surprises along the way, and the biggest one was Hershel himself. But Buck fully intended to deliver Hershel's Bride!

      Cole Morgan was about to embark with another wagon train, headed for Oregon, where land grants were being dispersed. Emily Carrington was running away from home. Even though she was twenty-six years old, this was the first time she'd been on her own. When she heard about all the wagon trains going west from Independence Missouri, she knew that was her ticket to her new freedom. There was only one problem. Cole Morgan didn't allow unmarried women on his train. But meeting Emily for the first time, she made a huge impression on him. So he found a way to take her and still not break his own rules. He would marry her himself, and in return she could cook for his men along the trail to Oregon. Emily agreed, since she was desperate to escape her controlling Uncle and Robert, the man she had been engaged to for six years. She had no idea of the adventures she would face both good and bad along the way. And what would happen once she was in Oregon to her husband?

    Hi friendsI'd like to ask a favor, not just for me but for all writers. PLease when we offer a free book, it would be wonderful if you'd take the time to rate the book. This doesn't take much time out of your day and authors really apreciate your time to do this. I know not everyone wants to sit down and write a review, but rating the book will help as well. And a big thanks to all who do this. You never know how much an author appreciates you taking the time to do this.I finally finished The Car Stalker. Hope you'll check it out. This is the second book in the stalker series. Like I said mystery is much different from romance all though there are elements in romance in my stalker books too. Today I finished an another book in my series of Vets coming home, Better Every Day. This book takes the angle of when family interrupts your plans. When a one-night stand is much more. I love this story as it hits home. So two new books out now and more coming.I'm taking the time to write while confined at home. But lack of seeing people outside, and living alone all the time is not new to me. I've got lots of stories to tell so be on the lookout for my newest releases. You might check out my Searchin g for You Indian romance on Amazon too.There are several new free books for you enjoyment, since your stuck at home. Home you enjoy them.As for a bio, suffice it to say, I'm a Texan tried and true. I have grown children and grandchildren and already some great-grandchildren. I've done multi jobs in my lifetime giving me a variety of experiences to write and talk about. I've done many different kinds of work from Texas Instruments, to City of Garland, to working for the Wylie Independent School District. I've worked for a hat factory, filing insurance claims, secretarial work, to waitress work. My writing reflects my varied background. Another note I've had a in home day care for twenty years too. So when I write about something I have a general knowledge of it too, which is a real bonus for me. Just like my public work, my writing varies too from contemporary to historical, I write romance, thrillers, children's. A lot of people might say gee, that's a lot of different jobs, and it is, but, I've learned from them all, and I use that experience in my writing.I want to thank all the readers over a length of time that have tried some of my books. I hope I've enlightened and entertained you. I hope I've shared some love in this world. Sharing love can't be bad, it's God given.God bless.Other places to see my bookshttps://www.fantasticfiction.com/h/rita-hestand/https://itunes.apple.com/us/author/rita-hestand/id365799219?mt=11www.scriptsforschools.com/rita-hestandhttps://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/search?query=rita%20hestand&fcsearchfield=author
