A Reluctant Christmas Family for the Gentle Horseman

Description

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! Bridget O’Conner never dreamed she’d be heading West as a mail order bride, but she also never dreamed her parents would die within a year and leave her alone with her young brother, Ben. To Bridget, Sam Jones was her last chance to for her and Ben to have a home and security. But to young Ben, Sam is an unwelcome change that takes him far away from his old life. Sam Jones is a kind man, and he can see the pain in Ben—a pain like a scared young horse. He wants to welcome both Ben and his lovely sister into his home, even though Ben is determined to see otherwise. And the more Sam and Bridget grow to care for each other, the more Ben rebels, especially as Christmas draws near. But while Bridget believes Ben just needs more time, Sam has other plans—plans that Bridget is not sure she agrees with. Should she trust him, or is he not the man she expected him to be?
