A Mail-Order Heart | Janelle Daniels
Clara Stewart has every intention of marrying Ivan, her mail-order groom, but her plans fall apart when he dies before her arrival-leaving not one fiancee but nine! When the female-starved town offers them Ivan's home and claim, Clara steps forward and promises to do whatever necessary to see to the women's future, regardless of her own attraction to the town's sheriff. Sheriff Sawyer Morrison had one goal: to protect his town. But when nine women arrive, all claiming to be mail-order brides for the same man, his once quiet life is thrown into chaos. Safeguarding them from aggressive suitors is nothing compared to the inner battle he faces over Clara, a woman who heats his blood... but can never be his own. But when Clara is kidnapped by the same person who's sabotaging their mine, Sawyer must choose between the life he knew and the future he craves.
