Longren Family

These three brides have more to worry about than navigating life as newlyweds if they want to hold on to their happily-ever-afters. In Longren Family Trilogy, you'll find three enthralling tales fraught with danger and daring as these three brides battle against the odds for their chances at happiness.... 

When Maggie Lucas (mail order bride) leaves Boston for Virginia City, Nevada, she's anticipating a marriage of convenience and life in a new home with a man she's never met. That's more than enough change, in her view. What she doesn't expect, is to find that home threatened as both the market for silver and the Comstock Lode mines themselves dry up and her new husband faces foreclosure. She also doesn't expect to fall in love with the new state, the people in it - and her new husband.

Chloe Anders always knew she'd marry Matthew Longren. It just wasn't always obvious that Matthew knew it. But now that the Longren brother whom Chloe's father has described as a scoundrel and a cad has opened The Faro Queen Hotel in Virginia City with his older brother and begun to settle down, it looks like the time has come for Chloe and Matthew to marry. But not everyone agrees. When The Faro Queen burns in winter 1881, Chloe finds herself trailing the arsonist through a snow storm and cornering him, only to get knocked out and left for dead in a burning building.

When Kitty Collins runs away from her complicated life in Gold Hill, Nevada, the last thing she's looking for is more complications. But complications are exactly what she finds, in the shape of two attractive cowboy suitors. There's more at stake than Kitty's heart, though. When Kitty runs to the cattle ranch where her sister Sarah and Sarah's new husband William live, she finds a ranch under siege from lawsuits brought by neighbors, drought, wildfires – and arson.
