“Holly & Ivy,” my #HistoricalRomance novella in A
#BouquetOfBrides takes place in 1890, in Washington State. It’s about a young
woman who accompanies her impetuous younger sister on her trip across the
country to be a Christmas mail-order bride and is helped by a gallant stranger.
Nick Andrews is a successful cattle rancher who is jaded by the
idea of love and finding a faithful wife. His own mother had cheated on his
father, his foreman’s wife left him for an easier life in a city, and Nick
caught his fiancée kissing another man. He has yet to meet a trustworthy woman
and has been turned off from ever finding love.
But
then Nick meets Holly Harrison and her sister on the train heading west. He
thinks that women traveling by themselves is unwise and, even more imprudent,
is to agree to be some man’s wife without ever having met him. He puts on a
gruff exterior to help these ladies see reason.
Nick
feels compelled to see the pair of women safely to their destination, which
will give him time to talk the girl out of her silly notions. As well as give
him time to spend with the captivating Holly Harrison. Could she be the one
woman in a million he could risk trusting with his heart?
In celebration of the
