Ivy
Prairie Roses Collection Book 32
by Joi Copeland
She must leave her past behind in order to become who she’s meant to be.
Being treated like a servant instead of a family member pushes Ivy Fowler to answer an advertisement for a mail-order bride. Her brother and sister-in-law promise to take her from Montana to Colorado in the back of a covered wagon as long as Ivy agrees to cook all of their meals, do their laundry, and take care of her three-year-old niece.
Ivy agrees. She cannot stay in Montana any longer. Her brother and sister never gave her love, but now she’s in danger of losing much more. While her groom-to-be doesn’t promise love, he at least promises kindness and respect. Both of which she longs for.
After Lee Griswold’s wife dies in the avalanche of Woodstock, Colorado, he takes his son and moves to the town of Pinewood to become sheriff. When a mail-order bride shows up unannounced to marry Lee, the ladies of the town come clean about the advertisement they placed on his behalf. He decides to forge ahead with the marriage, if for no other reason than to have a mother for his son.
Trouble and danger follow Ivy at every turn. In a race against time, Lee must discover the culprit before it’s too late.
