This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Author's Note:

I want to thank you for picking up my series. It means a lot to me, and I'm glad to have you along for the ride.

I'm in the process of narrating the books myself. It's going to take some time, but eventually, you'll be able to hear these stories from my own voice.

Currently, the stories are narrated by an AI. I've been working closely with it, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how well it brings these stories to life. It's been an interesting experience, and the AI has done a great job capturing the heart of Tombstone and its inhabitants.

Happy listening,

Cindy Caldwell

Tombstone, 1880s

Love isn't always where you think you'll find it. Sometimes it's right in front of you. 

Rosemary Archer is tired of just gathering eggs and milking cows. She wants to follow in her sister Meg's footsteps and explore beyond Archer Ranch. When a new headmaster arrives in Tombstone, a position as a student teacher opens up and seems ideal to Rose—if she can get her father to agree. Meg won him over, so hopefully she can, too. 

Michael Tate, the new headmaster, is looking forward to the challenge of creating a larger school for the increasing number of children. He is excited about his new role and gets started. When the new school board is elected, Michael learns that there is an added stipulation to his continued employment—he must take a wife. 

Michael is frantic to keep his position and advertises for a mail order bride, sure that is the only solution. Rose and Michael work closely together as he waits for his mail order bride to arrive. He begins to wonder—is marrying a stranger his only option?
