About THE RUNAWAY BRIDE

Needed: One mail-order husband.

Anna Federov is a newly-minted heiress. When her family threatens her with marriage to a distant cousin, she escapes to the Kansas prairie, intent on finding a husband on her own. She advertises in a local paper—surely if a man can advertise for a wife, she can find a husband. Until she can find someone suitable, she takes a job as housekeeper for an irascible rancher and caretaker for his three rowdy siblings.

Needed: One housekeeper who can mind her own business.

Captain Jace Brackett has no use for romance but he also has no desire to see Anna tie herself to a money-grubbing fool. He’ll play the protector as long as she keeps her pretty nose out of his personal business.

But having Anna underfoot opens Jace’s heart to all the warmth he’s been missing. Can he admit his feelings for her before another suitor wins her heart—or her evil cousin comes after her?


Genre: historical Christian romance
Length: novella (100 pages)
