Millie Marries a Marshal - Linda K Hubalek

A clean, sweet western romance set in 1873. Mail-order bride Millie Donovan was looking forward to meeting Sam Larson, a Kansas homesteader, who she is sure, from reading his heartfelt letters, will provide her with the love and safety she wants and needs. Millie arrives on the train, not realizing that her husband-to-be was killed in an accident, until Clear Creek's town marshal informs her of the situation. Town Marshal Adam Wilerson never plans to marry due to his dangerous job. After reading letters found at his friend's home following his untimely death which were sent from his friend's mail-order bride, he can't help thinking of the woman, and believes he may be in love with her himself. But instead of sending Millie on the train back to her former home, he finds himself welcoming her-and her two-year-old charge-into his house, and into his heart. When danger threatens, Millie faces it head-on to protect the people she loves, including the town marshal. Can Adam keep the peace in town-and his house-or will the man following Millie cause an uproar that will endanger them both, and ruin their chance of a life together?
