      Bidding on his convenient bride!

      There’s no room in James Fast Elk Blackburn’s dangerous life for a wife, but the gentle beauty on offer in the town’s bridal auction would make the perfect caregiver for his orphaned niece.

      Miranda Fairfax is trying to reach her sister in Arizona. Being arrested then forcibly wed to a bounty hunter is not part of her plan! Yet Jamie’s rough exterior conceals a compassionate, sensual man, and Miranda soon wishes their marriage could be for real...

       The Fairfax Brides

      Three sisters find rugged husbands

      in the wild Wild West

       Author Note

      When I wrote His Mail-Order Bride—the story of Charlotte Fairfax, who assumes another woman’s identity and ends up married to an Arizona Territory homesteader—I did not intend to write three books. However, it seemed natural to follow with the stories of Charlotte’s sisters, Miranda and Annabel, and it became a trilogy: The Fairfax Brides.

      I wanted my heroines to have distinct personalities, and I wanted to write about three different heroes, yet there are common elements throughout the books. All three sisters have to flee from their embittered cousin Gareth, who seeks to control the Fairfax fortune. All three heroes are loners, but each in his own way each of them longs for a woman to love—someone to call his own, someone who will make him complete.

      The Bride Lottery is the story of the middle sister, Miranda, and Jamie Blackburn, a part-Cheyenne bounty hunter. Brave and bold, Miranda thirsts for adventure and meets new challenges head-on. Jamie has lost everyone he has ever loved, and lives in a dark world of death and danger. When fate throws them together Jamie finds a chance for redemption in Miranda, but the violence of his profession stands in their way.

      I hope you’ll enjoy reading about Miranda and Jamie.

      Annabel’s story will complete the trilogy. The youngest, clever but emotionally volatile, Annabel has some growing up to do before she can stand up to her older sisters and find her place in the world.
