      The wrong bride…the right woman?

      When William Black’s mail-order bride fails to appear at the Boston docks, he’s relieved when beautiful, vibrant Bridget Murphy steps in. However, she has a surprise in store. She will be a temporary nanny to his young twins…but she will not marry without love.

      Faith Glen, Massachusetts, is worlds away from the poverty Bridget knew in Ireland. And William Black couldn’t be more different from her faithless ex-fiancé. Yet that integrity Bridget so admires binds William to a promise that could keep them apart forever. In this new land of opportunity, does she dare to wish for a happy ending?

      “What will you do now?”

      Will answered without hesitation. “Find another bride.”

      “I see. Perhaps you should consider hiring a nanny, at least for now.”

      “No.” He gave one decisive shake of his head.

      “I don’t want my children getting used to someone who will eventually leave them like…” He let his words trail off.

      “Won’t you at least consider me for the position? It would be a great honor to—”

      “No.” His tone indicated the discussion was over. His children already adored Bridget. If she took a position in his home, then changed her mind, where would that leave Olivia and Caleb?

      Although…

      What if Will made a different offer? What if he supplied her with a more permanent position in his home?

      “Bridget Murphy.” He captured her hand in his and held on tight. “Would you consider becoming my wife?”

      grew up in a small Florida beach town. To entertain herself during countless hours of “lying out” she read all the classics. It wasn’t until the summer between her sophomore and junior years at Florida State University that she read her first romance novel. Hooked from page one, she spent hours consuming one book after another while working on the best (and last!) tan of her life.

      Two years later, armed with a degree in economics and religion, she explored various career opportunities, including stints at a Florida theme park, a modeling agency and a cosmetics conglomerate. She moved on to teach high school economics, American government and Latin while coaching award-winning cheerleading teams. Several years later, with an eclectic cast of characters swimming around in her head, she began seriously pursuing a writing career.

      She lives an action-packed life in Georgia, with her supportive husband, lovely teenage daughter and two ornery cats who hate each other.
