Book 1: A Banker for Bethany
A city man ready to make his way to the west to plant his roots, a woman requiring a strong helping hand, and an arrangement of marriage perfectly timed.

Danger lurks in the shadows of the small South Dakota town of Sioux Falls, as Bethany awaits the arrival of her husband-to-be. Time is running out and she’ll lose everything if Thomas doesn’t come through—will he be everything he claimed to be, or will misunderstanding sabotage the match before the flame is even lit?

Thomas Rose, a young banker from Boston—neither a rose nor a thorn. “I hope she can cook.”

Bethany Hamilton, a young woman with two small sisters to mind. “There goes another batch of burnt biscuits.”

Book 2: A Carpenter for Catherine

A widowed seamstress with two young children, a carpenter who believes marriage is the answer for his future, and a mail-order marriage that will either solve their problems or set the house ablaze!

Seamstress, Catherine Miller’s happily ever after was stolen from her when she became a widow. With two young children and her job as a seamstress, maintaining her home and small farm is proving to be more than she can manage alone. She makes a difficult decision, based on what she needs—a husband. Though love is all she really wants, can she dare to risk giving her heart away again for a second chance at romance? “I want help...but not at the sacrifice of love.”

Carpenter, Chase Lewis, has almost everything he wants—great friends, a quiet life, and a booming business in the city, but he’s missing one thing. Love. Unfortunately for him, the love of a good woman is hard to find when crippled by nerves. He comes up with a plan, but can he trust his unusual idea? “I’m ready… I think.”

Will Catherine and Chase work together to build a handmade partnership that’s tailored to both their needs, or will the weight of their situation bring the roof down?

Book 3: A Lumberjack for Lorena

A woman alone in the woods, and an instant connection with a lumberjack. will this mail-order marriage protect their secrets and solve their problems, or will the railroad lay track through their relationship?

1892 Pembina, North Dakota, USA
Living off the land in the remote backwoods, Lorena Lombardi has a shadow hovering over her home and land—the railroad—threatening to blaze a trail through her peaceful life. But she’s not alone. If a man can send for a bride, why can’t she send for a husband?

Lumberjack, Cole Wheeler, fell into step with Lorena’s letters from the start. The only problem is he’s not actually the lumberjack he said he was. He’s from the city after all. I love the woods; how hard can it be?

Will Lorena send him packing when she finds out his truths, will Cole ride the rails right out of town, or will the whole family be steamrolled off their land?

    Nice clean stories. I really enjoyed all 3 stories. I like 1800's stories of romance. I am hoping for more like tears to be free on my Kindle.

    Kathryn Leblanc is a fabulous author. There are important themes in her books, depth of relationships, no boring formulas or yadda yadda padding.

    This is a fantastic boxset! Three heartwarming stories of women that are struggling to survive on their own, while trying to take care of their families. Each makes the ultimate decision to place an advertisement for a mail-order groom. Each couple has their own problems as they try to build a relationship with a stranger and work through their differences, but they each have a happy ending. I loved all the differences in the stories and thought each book was well written with great characters and a unique storyline.

    I did read these stories individually before.
    Pairings one might not expect, especially that long ago, but being a real, caring person, and wishing for a good pairing, can make all the difference in the world. Even if one is... maybe not hiding, but reluctant to reveal all, for understandable reasons. But you must trust the one you wish to spend your life with. (At least that's how I feel, as do they.)

    I loved these books. All three are heartwarming with some twists and turns. The ladies all need husbands and it is a challenge for them and the men who they marry to learn to love and respect one another. I would highly recommend them all.

    Each book in this box set was very good. Nice romance and well written. Very much enjoyed. Each story was very uplifting but showed the struggles the heroine in the story went through before finding love.

    I received my free from the author and I am leaving an honest opinion and voluntary review

    Three heartwarming stories gathered into one boxset. The books will fill you with joy, sadness and love. Settling America was tough for everyone, but particularly, single women. I admire their determination and strength.

    I read the books in this set as part of an advance reader team and am providing my honest opinion.

    Each story in this set brings a unique perspective of it’s own, keeping the reader not only entertained but encouraged, knowing the circumstances may vary, but with determination, courage and grit, anything is possible!
