A Christmas Snow for Sadie 

Because last year's Mail-Order Brides' First Christmas became such a  huge success, the administrator of the series decided to extend it into this year's Christmas season too. I'm thrilled to be leading off this new group with A Christmas Snow for Sadie. I enjoyed the setting of Sauerkraut Cake by Sophie so much that I decided to include the California side of Lake Tahoe in this one.

In the novel, when Sadie Alexander's employer dies, she knows she'll need to leave the household at once. Mrs. Ludlow's son had already made improper advances, and it will be hard to avoid him now. Desperate, she sees an ad in a newspaper for a bride, so she mails a hastily written letter and travels to California on a wagon train. Being an orphan, she has no family to turn to. However, when she arrives, Mr. Laird is away with his construction business, leaving his older friend to meet Sadie.

Sawyer Laird couldn't believe that he'd finally gotten a response from his advertisement for a bride after all this time, and it couldn't have come at a more inopportune time. He still has construction contracts he needs to fulfill in Placerville, a gold-mining town that's no place for a lady. Well, she'd just have to wait, so he sure hoped she'd be the understanding sort.

Getting off to a rocky start when they first meet, they both begin to see the other's point of view, agree to call a truce, and decide to start over. However, Sadie is still leery of this man who puts his business above his potential wife. Does she want to live that kind of life?

A Christmas Snow for Sadie will publish on November 18th and is on preorder now. As with all my books, this one will be available on Kindle, KU, paperback, and Audible. With the holiday season just around the corner, order your copy today.
