A Note from Ruth Ann Nordin

 

Thank you for reading this book featuring the Larsons from the Nebraska Series. If you’d like to read their books, Her Heart’s Desire, A Bride for Tom, and A Husband for Margaret are free. Eye of the Beholder is free for a limited time. The rest of the books in the series are The Wrong Husband, Shotgun Groom, To Have and To Hold, His Redeeming Bride, and Isaac’s Decision.

 

Richard Larson finally got his own book in January 2016, which is Wagon Trail Bride (Pioneer Series: Book 1).

 

Harriett Larson and Rose Larson (twin daughters of Dave and Mary) have their books in Catching Kent (Rose’s story) and His Convenient Wife (Harriett’s story).

 

There are plans to write more about the Larsons in the years to come. To this day, they are still my favorite group of characters to work with.

 

Here’s more information about each book below:

 

Her Heart’s Desire (Nebraska Series: Book 1)

 

As soon as Sally Larson meets Rick Johnson, she knows he's the one for her. The catch? He's interested in her friend, Ethel Mae. But Sally has a plan. With Ethel Mae's help, she convinces Rick that the only way he'll get Ethel Mae is to make her jealous. He agrees, but he has a trick or two up his sleeve. Sally just might find that the one playing cat is really the mouse.

 

A Bride for Tom (Nebraska Series: Book 2)

 

Tom Larson is having trouble finding a wife, and Jessica Reynolds decides to help him overcome his awkward and clumsy manners so he can attract women.

 

A Husband for Margaret (Nebraska Series: Book 3)

 

When Margaret Williams posted an ad for a husband, she expected Paul Connealy to arrive, but instead, his older brother, Joseph, came...and he brought four children with him.

 

Eye of the Beholder (Nebraska Series: Book 4)

 

A homely woman who fears she will never marry becomes a mail-order bride. The man she comes for rejects her but another offers her marriage. She accepts, not believing love will result from the union. Love, after all, is for beautiful women. Isn't it?

 

The Wrong Husband (Nebraska Series: Book 5)

 

After winning back the money his uncle gambled, Owen gives it to his aunt. But Big Roy isn't happy, and he sends men to kill Owen.

 

Owen flees to Nebraska where he finds a Wanted poster seeking his arrest. Scared, he plays along with the sheriff who thinks he's Irving, the new deputy. Irving was to marry Jenny Larson and since she's pretty, Owen plays along. But then Irving shows up…

 

Shotgun Groom (Nebraska Series: Book 6)

 

When Joel Larson goes out to check on a sick child, the last thing he expects is a shotgun and a marriage proposal he can't refuse!

 

To Have and To Hold (Nebraska Series: Book 7)

 

Six years after Dave Larson married Mary in Eye of the Beholder, Mary loses her memory. In an attempt to help her remember her past, Dave takes her to Maine where Mary will come face to face with the family she left behind. Will her love for Dave be enough to overcome the unpleasant aspects of her past, or will past insecurities keep her from regaining her former happiness?

 

Redeeming Bride (Nebraska Series: Book 8)

 

Ready to give birth, Sarah Donner ends up newly widowed. She has to rely on the aid of the one man others had warned her about: Neil Craftsman. She knows of his tarnished past, and no respectable woman will go near him. But as she gets to know Neil, she learns that there is more to him than meets the eye. But when his past comes back to haunt him, will her newfound love be enough to redeem him?

 

Isaac’s Decision (Nebraska Series: Book 9)

 

Isaac Larson's been warned by his father to stay away from "the Craftsman girl" for years. But that's easier said than done when Emily Craftsman is the only one who sparks his passion. Will he defy his father to be with the woman he wants or will he choose the woman his father wants him to marry?
