Mail-Order Christmas Brides Boxed Set - Plot & Excerpts
Tiny bits of hail hit the brim of his Stetson and bounced off to fall on the two children standing beside him on the railroad platform in Miles City, an old military town halfway between Fort Keogh and Dry Creek in the Montana Territory. The day was bitter cold, but that wasn’t what bothered Gabe. He looked at the passenger train rolling steadily down the tracks toward them and frowned. Annabelle Hester, his brother’s mail-order bride, was coming on that train and Gabe would have to say something to her. He just didn’t know what yet. “I hope your pa had sense enough to send her a round-trip ticket,” Gabe muttered as he bent to lift the collar on four-year-old Eliza’s coat. Even as he said it, he knew the return ticket wasn’t likely to have been purchased. His brother, Adam Stone, never believed his plans could fail—not even when he was the one causing them to do so. Eliza didn’t say anything, but her eyes grew big in a face still round with pink baby sweetness. Daniel, her scowling seven-year-old brother, wasn’t as shy as she was and he tugged on Gabe’s jacket.
