Beatrice The Bride

Beatrice Hart loves her life as a teacher in Missouri. When her parents tell her they're moving to Creede, Colorado, she goes with them, having nothing else to do. Just before they reach town, her parents plummet to their deaths, leaving her alone to face the world and an entire town of men. When telegraph operator Arthur Jameson sees a young lady crying on a bench in town, he immediately goes to her to try to make things better. An hour later he finds himself married to her, wondering what had gotten into him. Together, two strangers try to navigate their way through marriage and life. Beatrice hates that she's not allowed to go out because of the dangers presented by the town of Creede. Will the two of them learn to compromise? Or will they spend their lives in a loveless marriage?

Filomena the seamstress is known throughout the town for her elegant wedding gowns, but when shy Rusty proposes, she decides to make her own wedding dress extra fancy.

The last thing Gavin Mereworth, the Duke of Selkirk expects is marriage to a rebellious wildling like her. Or is Beatrice Preston exactly what he needs? Newly titled Duke of Selkirk, Gavin Mereworth carries a heavy yoke. Threats to his land and title come from every side. When a perfectly aimed arrow barely misses his head, Gavin is not amused to find the archer to be a woman, like no other he's ever met. Her warning shot should have been an inkling of what he was about to get himself into. It was bad enough Beatrice Preston allowed the Duke to kiss her senseless, but did he have to go so far as to ask for her hand in marriage. Surely an aroused state drained the man of his ability to think straight, now to find a way to keep him from following through.
