The Fugitive Christmas Bride
A Bride’s Secret. A Bachelor’s Scandal.
Donna Hughes is running for her life. Falsely accused of stealing her stepfather’s money by her vindictive half-sister, she flees Springfield, Ohio, seeking refuge as a mail-order bride in the remote West. Her destination: Huntersville, Oregon.
Her intended groom is Adam Carson, a prosperous plumbing engineer whose success is overshadowed by the humiliating nickname the local women have given him: ‘Privy Adam.’ He needs a wife who won’t judge, but his hopes are dashed when Donna rejects him upon arrival—not because of his scandalous reputation, but because of his mother’s icy reception.
Adam is determined, and his relentless pursuit of the captivating Donna soon turns into a true, gentle love. But their fledgling romance is under threat. The two women who chased Donna out of Ohio—Ruby and her mother, Pearl—have arrived in Huntersville, bringing with them a secret that could tear Adam and Donna apart forever.
Can their budding love survive a past that refuses to stay buried?
