Christie Williams

Introducing: Christie Williams!

Ok, so Christie Williams is still me, just a fun new pen name under which I’m writing historical western romance, set in 1880s Wyoming. Christie’s books do not feature magic, fantasy, or fairy tales, but they’ll still have the sweet, swoony, non-spicy romance you’ve come to expect from me.

FREE prequel novella:

Oregon Trail, 1850. She’s on the run after getting caught transporting escaped slaves. He’s finding his own way after being disowned for undermining his slave-owning family. Neither knows what to expect when he discovers her stowed away in his wagon, but their futures, both on the trail and in the western frontier, may already be irrevocably intertwined.

This is a short, clean, prequel novella featuring a biracial couple, set 30 years before the Haven River Brides trilogy.

Haven River Brides

The man on the other end of the mail-order bride ad is not at all what Laurie was expecting, and he won’t take no for an answer. Her only hope is to flee into the jaws of an oncoming storm and pray she makes it to the train station before freezing to death. An unexpected rescue leads to being snowed in with a rancher who is exactly what she’s been looking for… just when she really needs to get far away from Haven River Falls and the man who lied to lure her there.
When Essie Martin sees a mail-order bride ad that would take her to the same tiny town where her best friend Laurie now lives, it’s impossible to resist. Her sister and toddler nephew don’t need her as much as they did when she moved in to help, and she’s tired of living Beth’s life instead of her own.

A mail-order bride seems Deputy Matthew Cooper’s best option after a run of disappointing first impressions with ladies thanks to his amputated arm. Hoping letters will give her the chance to get to know him before meeting face to face, he doesn’t expect to fall head over heels within the first few letters.

Though traveling West risks heartbreak and danger, can Matt and Essie turn their pen pal romance into true love?
Beth Ellis might be a widow with a young child, but she has her life under control. Mostly. Until an unwanted proposal and ultimatum shows her just how precarious her current situation is. She takes her son and flees westward to join her sister, only to discover that, as a single woman in a town full of unattached men, she’s exposed to more unwelcome proposals than ever. When one cowboy won’t take no for an answer, Beth desperately accepts Wes Harrison’s offer of a fake engagement for her own protection.

What Wes feels for Beth is anything but fake. But can she come to terms with her past and embrace the future that he longs for?

Brides and Brothers

When her parents died, Cora promised her ma that she’d look out for her siblings, and she has. She runs the family homestead like a military general, locking away all dreams for her future, at least until her siblings are married and no longer need her. She has no time for love and no wish to expose her fragile heart again after it was broken five years ago.

Neighbor Jack Brooks has been in love with Cora for years, but he didn’t realize it until it was too late: first she was courting another man, then she lost her parents. She may not be seeing anyone now, but that doesn’t mean she’ll stay single forever. And Jack can’t risk missing his chance again.

Winning her heart seems impossible when he gets tongue tied and can’t even write secret admirer letters—and she has emotional walls a mile high. But Jack has determination and a plan.

Thankfully, a picture’s worth a thousand words.

Winning Cora is a sweet and clean, boy next door, brother’s best friend, historical western romance with a strong FMC and a dyslexic MMC set in 1880s Wyoming territory.
