About this series
Douglas Latimer lost his wife and his best friend under suspicious circumstances in a gold mine explosion. Left with a new baby and a broken heart, Douglas meets his best friend's mail-order bride intending on sending her back. One look at Adeline Brady and he knows she can solve his problems and help him raise is daughter...if she'll agree to marry him instead. However, Adeline's arrival unsettles him in ways he didn't expect. She cares for his infant daughter as if the child were her own, and looks at him with soft blue eyes, expecting something from him he knows he cannot give her after his previous wife's betrayal, his trust...and his love.
Adeline Brady traveled to 1871 Colorado from a Carson City saloon where her gambler father frequently bet her virginity on a hand of cards. He was a cheat and a liar, so she never had to pay his debt, but she needed a new life, a new start with a man who would honor and value her as his wife, not a piece of property to be gambled away. At first glance, Douglas is everything she had hoped for. Handsome. Established. Protective. But he vows to her from day one that he will never give her his heart.
When an unexpected death tears the community apart, can Douglas and Adeline conquer their fears and find happiness, or will their distrust of each other drive Adeline into the arms of another man, a rival miner who has made no secret of the fact that he will own Douglas's mine and his wife? Little do they realize he is willing to kill to claim both for his own.

New York Governess Victoria Coleman survives an attack but finds herself in a family way. When her employer finds out, the kind man tells her she is safe there. But his wife has other ideas. Believing her husband is the child's father, she threatens Victoria. Needing to escape, Victoria becomes a mail-order bride as far away as possible—Golden City in the Colorado Territory. Andrew Mayfield is consumed with guilt over the death of his wife and infant son in childbirth six months ago but knows that his two-year-old daughter needs a mother and he needs to marry to provide her one. He contracts for a mail-order bride. But vengeance is a dish best served cold and the woman determined to see Victoria's baby dead and therefore Victoria herself, is an iceberg. Refusing to believe her husband or Victoria, Mildred Thomas follows Victoria to Golden City. Will she be able to exact her revenge for a perceived wrong? Or will Andrew be able to protect the woman who might be working her way into his heart?

Cordelia Jameson is left alone after her brother's death. He left her with $5000 which she knows won't last forever and she doesn't want to be alone. She wants a husband and children. She decides to become a mail-order bride and goes to Brides for the West to sign up. David Thomas survived his sociopath wife's machinations. She was hung for attempted murder and kidnapping, though he would have divorced her in any case. He'd do anything to protect his four-year-old daughter Margie. But now that he's moved out west, he realizes he needs someone to care for Margie and he needs a wife for himself since he wants more children, too. He's vowed he won't allow his emotions to get involved, not after what he went through with his first wife. While Cordelia is living at the boarding house, waiting for her mail-order groom, her brother's former partner, Richard Lynch, finds her. He demands the money that her brother left her. She refuses and he backhands her sending her to the floor. If not for the interference of another of the brides, he might have beat her to death. When Cordelia leaves to marry David, she believes she's left Richard behind her. But like a bad penny, he shows up in her new town making the same demands only this time he threatens Margie. Cordelia knows he won't go away and even if she does give him the money, when he finds out that David is rich, he'll be back again and again, blackmailing them. He has to be stopped. Now. But how?

Cynthia Woolf
Cynthia Woolf is the award winning and best-selling author of twelve historical western romance books and two short stories with more books on the way. She was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in the mountains west of Golden. She spent her early years running wild around the mountain side with her friends. Their closest neighbor was about one quarter of a mile away, so her little brother was her playmate and her best friend. That fierce friendship lasted until his death in 2006. Cynthia was and is an avid reader. Her mother was a librarian and brought new books home each week. This is where young Cynthia first got the storytelling bug. She wrote her first story at the age of ten. A romance about a little boy she liked at the time. Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia’s father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now) not the ranch owner. Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and the great friends she's made at CRW for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.
