Mail Order Bride: A Runaway Hope (Hope Out West #1)

Beth Simpson is desperate to escape her dark secrets and leave her past behind. Answering an ad to be wife to David and mother to his three little angelic girls was an offer she couldn't pass up. So she leaves everything behind to attempt a new life out west.

Amelia Miller, her coach mate, shares her journey in that she too seeks a new life for herself. But where Beth is escaping, Amelia is seeking adventure. And where David and his girls are a dream, Amelia is becoming mother to two wild, constantly fighting twin boys who could make anyone wish they didn't exist, their own father included. And as Amelia discovers, he's not exactly brimming with warmth himself.

Little Grove holds both promise and fear for both women and their new lives as mail order brides. For the one, she cries herself to sleep, questioning everything that brought her here as wife to a gruff, seemingly uncaring man and his unruly and undisciplined boys.

For the other, she can't believe her incredible luck, and finally starts to relax and feel truly at home as wife and homemaker, feeling blessed beyond measure. That is, until a surprise from her past catches up to her, threatening to unravel the careful plans she's made to leave it all behind...

This is part 1 of a 3-book clean and wholesome Mail Order Bride sweet romance series by Katie Lockwood and Emma Maas.
