A Pretty Bride (Mail Order Romance Short)

Josie Birch hated being pretty. Though most folks would consider it a blessing, to Josie it was a curse. It had only brought her pain, from jealous girls who shunned her to boys whose stares and whistles made her uncomfortable. Life at home was even worse with a stepfather who made her life a nightmare.

Out of desperation, she contacts a mail order bride agency to find a husband. She starts writing to Sam Dawson, a rancher from Texas and through letters, they fall in love with each other. Josie makes plans to marry him and move to Texas. She is thrilled that she found a man who fell in love with her for who she is on the inside, not for her looks.

Just when she thinks things are looking up in her life, she arrives in Texas to find a new nightmare waiting for her in Sam's brother, Luke, who is the one thing standing in the way of her happiness. Sam is forced with a hard decision between his brother and his new bride.

A Pretty Bride is a sweet western romance story. It is the perfect length to read over your lunch break, waiting for an appointment or on a lazy weekend afternoon.
