About this listen
Remaining in her Virginia hometown won't mend Clara Brown's broken heart. Determined to set her life back in order--and go somewhere she won't have to see her former beau--she answers an advertisement for a mail-order bride. Before she knows it, she's arrived in Crest Stone, a rugged new railroad town nestled between the mountains in Colorado. And when she meets her intended, he's better than she ever could have dreamed--handsome and kind, even if he does seem preoccupied.
Roman Carlisle is a cowboy turned livery owner. More than anything, he wants what his brothers have--a family. When Clara answers his advertisement, he's overjoyed to find she's exactly who he wanted. But her arrival coincides with horses going missing from his stable. If he can't find out who's behind the thefts, he'll lose everything he's worked so hard for.
Clara is determined to help Roman when she finds out he's losing both horses and customers. But when the horse thieves grow more threatening, Roman is faced with a choice--send back the woman he's come to love, or put her life in danger.
The Crest Stone Mail-Order Brides is a spin-off from Cat's Gilbert Girls series. This is a sweet and clean romance set in the Old West. Like all of Cat's books, it will warm your heart and fill you with hope!
Go back to the beginning, before Crest Stone became a town, with the Gilbert Girls series:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SW7ZM55

I had frizzy brown hair, I was too short, and the left side of my Face leaned so far to the left I could hardly see out of my left eye—like in those old cartoons when the characters are smacked with an anvil. Except mine never bounced back to normal. Yes, my Face, with a capital F, had its own name. No one would ever confuse Magnolia Holland with a supermodel—though she gets plenty of stares when she's in public. After years of homeschool to avoid bullying and ridicule from peers and strangers, Magnolia decides to take the plunge and enroll in Graceland High...
