Shameful Celia (The Mail Order Brides of Boot Creek #3)

Book Three of The Mail Order Brides of Boot Creek

After Celia’s husband dies in a freak accident, she is forced to answer a mail order bride ad, hoping to wed quickly. After arriving in Boot Creek, her fiancé, Earnest Hobart, is shocked to learn that not only has she been married before, but Celia’s also heavily pregnant.

When Earnest refuses to honor his commitment to her, Pastor Nicolas Kinsley must step in to help, offering the mother-to-be a place to stay in the Men’s Emporium, where he lives. Allowing Celia to use his cook stove, the charming beauty indulges Nicolas with her culinary skills and pleasing company.

It’s not long before the bachelor preacher falls hard for Celia, although there are other men in town vying for her attention, Chuck Brittle, being one of them. Nicolas wants to offer for her, but there is a reason why he has not married. It’s a secret he could easily live with … until now. Will that reason spoil Celia’s hopes for love?
