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.
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?
