Miss Beatrice

Description

A Widow and her Child A Lonely Blacksmith And the Fear keeping them apart... Beatrice Farmer was floundering. Quite literally. She lived in Flounder, Oklahoma. And if she didn't escape her brother and their nothing of a town, she'd never survive. Lucky for her, someone left a Tulsa newspaper at the general store. Even luckier, she spied an advertisement for a mail-order bride! In her mind, all she had to do was get herself to Fiddler's Gap, Oregon, and all her troubles would be over. It was a risk, but one she was willing to take. But things didn't go quite as she planned. Chandler Trent was a simple blacksmith, who just happened to speak more than a few languages, was well read, and played the string bass in the town orchestra. He'd sent off advertisements for a mail-order bride just like the other bachelors in town had. Imagine their surprise when a mail-order bride shows up for a groom that's already found his future wife! Not only that, this mail-order bride is a widow with a baby. No one expected something like that to arrive! Now the only question was, who was going to marry her?
