Seven brides with nowhere left to go. Seven frontier men who answered an advertisement. One Christmas that will not wait for any of them.

From the plains of Kansas to a Colorado mining camp, from a flooded Montana ranch to a sheriff’s office in New Mexico Territory, every bride in this collection steps off the train days before Christmas to marry a man she knows only from his letters.

The Faithful Christmas Bride. Clara Winters, a widowed farm wife a week from losing her land and her children, answers Ethan Miller’s advertisement and reaches Abilene, Kansas, to find a grieving farmer, a crumbling barn and three children who want her gone.

The Redeemed Christmas Bride. Amelia Foster, her Boston reputation in tatters, travels to Eagle’s Crossing to marry Caleb Hawkins, a widower who buried his heart with his family and has no words for the stranger on his doorstep.

The Courageous Christmas Bride. Charlotte Reed, falsely accused and running for her life, becomes the bride of Samuel Garrett, a Copper Creek mine owner whose mine is failing, whose men are dying and whose town is ready to turn on him.

The Snowbound Christmas Bride. Abigail Prescott, a Connecticut physician whose skill made her a criminal at home, is bound for Finn O’Brien’s Montana ranch when a blizzard and a flooding river cut Elkhorn in two, with the bride on the wrong side.

The Restored Christmas Bride. Emma Campbell, abandoned by the groom who sent for her and with a frightened child holding her hand, accepts a hasty marriage to Sheriff Logan Tate in New Mexico Territory, days before U.S. Marshals ride in with a charge she cannot disprove.

The Fugitive Christmas Bride. Donna Hughes flees a theft she did not commit in Springfield, Ohio, for Huntersville, Oregon, where Adam Carson, a prosperous engineer the town mocks as “Privy Adam”, is waiting with a mother who does not approve, and the women who drove Donna out of Ohio are not far behind.

The Tenderhearted Christmas Bride. Rachel Fowler, mocked as the plain twin and jilted by her own sister, arrives in Haydenville, Arizona, as a companion rather than a bride, and meets Brent Lockhart, a wealthy rancher who has disguised himself to learn which woman will accept a flawed man.

Not one of these women gets the welcome the letters promised. Each carries a secret of her own, or has her past on the next train, and each has only until Christmas to decide whether a roof and a ring are worth what they cost.

They came west for shelter. What found them was harder to accept, and worth far more.
