Publisher's summary

High-society lady Darcy Russell has a dangerous secret. The only way to stay safe is to flee far away and marry a man who knows nothing about her family background or their money. All she asks for is a husband who lives in the country, is kind, and will match her intellectual interests, especially with modern philosophy.

Shy Gideon Walker has escaped the pressures and abuse of his family and found a refuge in the forest around Sweetwater Springs, Montana. There, he's created a fairy-tale setting and crafts whimsical furniture, which few people ever see. An avid reader and student of philosophy, he longs for a wife to love and to share his gentle abode. Yet he can't bring himself to go out into the world to find her.

When neighboring mail-order bride Lina Barrett sets up a match between the two, Darcy believes she's found her safe haven--until her secrets catch up with her.

Mail-Order Brides of the West: Darcy takes place simultaneously with Mail-Order Brides of the West: Heather and is set seven years before Wild Montana Sky. See Caroline Fyffe's companion book, Mail-Order Brides of the West: Katherine to find out what happens to Darcy's friend and fellow mail-order bride when she travels to Y Knot, Montana.

Such a beautiful story

I was engrossed in this story that I couldn’t stop listening. One of the best I’ve heard I just wish it was longer.

Great story!

I loved the performance of this reader. She did a superb job of flowing from character to character! The content was rich and kept my interest which is not easy to do.

A “get away from it all” book

This the second time I read this book and foresee that I will go back to it. An easy read that takes me to a place I wish I could be... My only regret is that it isn’t longer...

Love this series!

I have enjoyed this series from the first book. You can read this as a stand-alone. The books do give you updates on the earlier mail order brides.

The narrator is fabulous. She really brings the book to life.

Great story!

Here we are in the fourth installment of the Mail-order brides. This book is about Darcy. A well to do mail order bride. Darcy only became a mail order bride as she is hiding from her half brother who wants her dead. Darcy received a letter while in St Louis from her maid from home saying her brother went looking for her, so Darcy heads out to Sweet Water, Montana where her friend Lina is living happily married. If Darcy marries then she has better control to her property her brother is trying to steal from her.

Darcy meets Gideon, a loner who homesteads way outside of the town. Gideon loves his solitude. Gideon is also an excellent woodworker.

I loved this book along with the other mail-order bride books. I especially like how the same narrator is in all the books. I love how characters meet and comeback too!

This author, Debra Holland does a fantastic job writing these books and captures the rough life, & the feeling of family, love and community in all her old west books. I love hearing of how times were back in the late 1800s & about how people survived back then. How different life was back then! The narrator, Lara Asmundson does a fantastic job as always delivering this story with her multiple voices and accents, along with tons of excitement.

I loved the ending in this book! I didn't see it coming and was hoping for a happy ending & I was quite pleased! Great job ladies!!! Until we meet again.

Very enjoyable

Another great story, love that each has a different theme as well as bringing in past brides so you continue to hear about them.

Enjoyed/ but-//

Would appreciate books recorded where you can go forward or backwards without jumping chapters. Most are. This one wasn't.
