[Escape to the West 04] • An Unexpected Groom

**When heart and mind pull in opposite directions, which way do you turn?**

Despite her impoverished background, Louisa knows she will marry well. Her parents have told her so her entire life. So a young accountant advertising for a mail order bride seems perfect.

But when Louisa arrives in the small California town of Green Hill Creek, she discovers that Jesse Johnson has been keeping a secret that could ruin all her plans. Even worse, the more time she spends with him, the less those plans seem to matter.

For the first time in her life, Louisa finds herself doubting everything she's been raised to believe, and her heart waking to new possibilities. Possibilities that just may involve falling in love.

**Five mail order brides, one small Californian town, a lot of romance! The Escape to the West series tells the stories of five young women in 1870 who travel across the country to find love. These uplifting Christian historical romances will transport you to a time of courageous women longing for a better life and the strong men dedicated to winning their hearts. Each novel can be read on its own or as part of the series.**
