A Headstrong Christmas Bride for the Lonely Father

Celebrate the miracle of love and the joy of the holiday season on the Western frontier with the Twelve Mail Order Brides of Christmas, a new series from popular author Emma Morgan!

Feeling herself a burden on her family, Ella Burns decides to head West in the hopes of finding a purpose—if not love. And Benjamin Person, new father to an orphaned child, seems like a man who needs her help. If only he could accept it.

Benjamin Pearson, now in charge of his orphaned niece, knows he needs a woman’s help to raise the child. But his life is so hard, and he does not want his new wife to have to struggle as he did. He resolves to shield her from the hardships of the ranch, and let her tend to the home and child. If only she would listen to him.

But the mountain weather is harsh, and Ella and Ben soon find themselves battling a burning barn and a mountain storm. When Ella defies Ben’s words to save his life, he realizes he has to decide—will he let this strong woman into his life, or will he hold onto his pride?
