Mail Order Ruth (Copper Creek Mail Order Brides Book 1)by Charlotte Dearing

Ruth travels to Texas to become a mail-order bride and to care for an orphaned baby.
She finds the child living in squalor. Worse, her fiancé is a rogue and probably a thief. With nothing more than her wits, she must fend for herself and the baby.

Her only hope lies with Gideon, a gruff but charming cowboy. The tall, gallant Texan offers Ruth safety, a haven for her and the baby.

Gideon set out to find his stolen money. Instead he finds a mail order bride, two ragged orphans and a basket of striped kittens.
Gideon’s looking for a thief. The crook’s missing, but Gideon meets his fiancée, a lovely blue-eyed beauty. Ruth’s sassy and plenty exasperating. She cares for a tiny baby, and the two stir a protective instinct inside him. Before he knows it, he’s got more trouble than he can shake a stick at.

Ruth says she knows nothing about the stolen money. But is the girl as innocent as she claims?

A sweet, wholesome standalone romance with a heart-warming happily ever after.

A Second Chance at Paris (Bayou's End Book 1)by Cole McCade

“Sexy, sweet, and satisfying…a delicious take on the ‘what-ifs’ of life.” – USA Today & NY Times Bestselling Author Diane Alberts / Jen McLaughlin

One week in Paris. One chance with her childhood crush. And one lie that could ruin it all.

Before she was Dr. Celeste London, Astrophysicist, she was Mary Celeste Haverford: dork, loser, the geek formerly known as Hairy Mary. But she’d left all that behind–and left Ion Blackwell behind, nothing but an unrequited crush and the memory of a high school field trip, a night in Paris, and the words Celeste never had the courage to say. She’d never expected to see him again…until a surprise encounter on a Parisian riverboat tour brings him back into her life, and gives her the opportunity to start over as someone new. Someone Ion doesn’t recognize, transformed from a social outcast into a polished, professional woman that Ion doesn’t realize is the girl he’s been longing for since childhood, the ideal he’s dreamed of his entire life.

Suddenly this vivacious (if charmingly awkward) “new” woman is teaching him that real love is better than any dream–but Celeste is hiding more than her identity. Hiding something that makes it hard to trust her increasingly erratic behavior, and her frequent secretive phone calls. When the truth comes out, the deception could shatter them both…unless they can give each other a second chance, and take a risk on love.
