Publisher Description:

Christmas comes to Mistletoe Falls one mail-order bride at a time!

Holly Bishop’s life is perfect. The only problem she has is deciding which flowers to have at her wedding. But when her fiancé is killed in a tragic accident just weeks before their nuptials, she finds herself at the mercy of her corrupted uncle’s machinations—he’s pledged her, and her two younger sisters, to men old enough to be their grandfather. She’s found a solution to thwart his greedy plans and the three of them flee Savannah in the middle of the night, but will they be able to live with the consequences?

Living and trapping on the mountain above Mistletoe Falls is Gabe Miller’s dream life. Enough so, he spent nearly his entire inheritance, and the last eight years, building his own little slice of heaven among the Ponderosa pines. Now, he’s ready for someone to share that life with, so when other men in town send for a mail-order bride, he decides to join in. But when Holly arrives, he quickly learns she has a secret and now he must decide…is his new wife a blessing or a mistake?
