A Bride for the Homestead

di Ann Laurel (Autore)

Perfectly Plotted Books, 2026

From Chicago Silk to Kansas Dust: A Vow Made from Necessity, A Love Forged in Fire. Lillian Ross steps off the wagon at Dry Creek Homestead with a trunk full of useless evening gowns, a pair of pearl-handled scissors, and a desperate need for a fresh start. But the Kansas prairie is a far cry from the Chicago ballrooms she left behind. Her new husband, Seth Monroe, is a man carved from the harsh landscape itself—stoic, practical, and haunted by the ghost of the wife he couldn't save. What begins as a stark marriage of convenience to save a failing homestead soon becomes a battle for survival. Lillian must trade her silk for homespun to win the trust of Seth's grieving son, Amos, and prove she has the grit to endure a life where "everything means survival". But the elements aren't the only danger lurking on the horizon. When ruthless cattle baron Jasper Thorn threatens to seize their land by any means necessary—from legal schemes to midnight arson—Lillian and Seth must decide if their paper marriage is worth fighting for. As winter storms descend and fires rage, the couple discovers that the strongest roots are those grown in the hardest soil. Can a city girl find her courage in the wild, and can a broken man learn that love isn't just about not leaving, but choosing to stay? A story of resilience, found family, and the enduring promise of the American frontier.
