Elizabeth

Can the hope and joy of Christmas light the way for two hearts devastated by war? Elizabeth Byrd receives an invitation to join her friends in Angel Creek, Montana to become a mail-order bride. At first, the young battlefield nurse is scandalized by the idea of agreeing to marry a man she's never met, but the war has taken everything from her - her brothers, too many friends to count, and her fiancé. There's nothing left for her in Charleston but more heartache. Captain David Pemberton retreats to his hunting lodge in Montana the moment the war is over. He's looking forward to being alone with the memories of his wife who passed in the early days of the fighting. But the men of Angel Creek don't see fit to leave a widowed soldier alone during Christmas. Insisting four years is long enough to grieve, they dare him to join them on a holiday venture to acquire wives for them all - a dare he accepts in a weak moment. He receives the shock of his life at who steps off the stagecoach to claim his hand in marriage.
