It is with great pleasure that we have the chance to announce a new book contract! 

Bride by Arrangement is a two-part anthology by National Bestselling Author Ruth Ann Nordin and Janet Syas Nitsick!

Here's a bit about each!

In Ruth Ann Nordin's story The Purchased Bride:

Ada Wilcox never thought her brother would answer a mail-order bride ad on her behalf.  Worse, he's sold her--sight unseen--to a complete stranger.  As she travels to Nebraska, she doesn't know whether to be angry with her brother or scared about the uncertain future looming before her.

Pete Kelly never thought he'd marry.  Then one day his brother brings him a woman to marry, and the loneliness that plagued him for years in his quiet world is finally at an end.  But the gift he was given might be quickly taken away if he doesn't act in time to keep it.

Janet Syas Nitsick's story She Came by Train:


She Came by Train to a desolate land in the spring of 1876. With mixed feelings, Opal Preston steps onto the platform to meet her employer, Alexander Boyer. She accepts his hand and climbs into his wagon to begin her role as the governess of his two children. As she executes her duties, she wonders how she’ll cope without the finery she left behind. Soon two men are vying for her affections. Alex cannot imagine his life without her and looks for a way to convince her to stay in Nebraska. But a preacher from Virginia also is smitten with her and offers to take her back to Virginia. She Came by Train, but only her heart can determine if she’ll return that way.

Second Lt. Jack Walker doesn’t always think ahead and when he decides to defy logic and send off for a mail order bride, he might have left out only a few details about his life at the all-but-forgotten Fort Gibson…

Upon arrival at a forsaken military fort in the middle of Indian Territory, Ella Davis learns Jack’s situation isn’t quite what she’s believed from his letters and while hoping to avoid such a fate, she’s been made the fool again. Unfortunately, this time she can’t run and hide from the man who’s done her wrong, but neither is she convinced their marriage will be the same one she’d envisioned for them…

Now it’s up to Jack to find a way to show his always skeptical bride that he is indeed trustworthy and that despite what she might believe she does belong somewhere in the world: right there, with him.
