Prairie Promises

You’ll be delighted with the wit and humor of three stories of marriage plans that don’t go as expected. Clara Fields tries to escape a difficult situation by finding a bride for a storekeeper’s son, only to discover that the task is more complicated than she thought. The shotgun wedding that results from Opal Speck’s hasty confession—that Adam Grogan is the father of her unborn baby—ends up creating more problems than it solves. Gavin Miller’s mistaken proposal to the wrong cousin leads to tension when Marguerite Chandler—the wrong bride—and Daisy—the right bride—both arrive in town.

On the American prairie, saying “I do” is anything but simple. . .

The Bride Bargain

Stranded along the Oregon Trail and alone except for her widowed aunt, Clara Fields faces a daunting situation. Yet a storekeeper’s bargain—a house in trade for a wife—offers a quick release from the hardship. Or does it? Clara soon discovers that her easy redemption brings new problems of its own in the form of a stubborn suitor and troubled hearts.

The Bride Backfire

Opal Speck thinks she’s saving a man’s life—simply by speaking up. What results from her decision, however, is far from simple and ends up complicating both her life and his. Opal’s confession—that Adam Grogan is the father of her unborn child—brings about a shotgun wedding, but will it resolve the underlying conflict?

The Bride Blunder

Marguerite Chandler heads out west expecting to meet her awaiting—and pleased—fiancé. She finds confusion instead, as Gavin Miller, mistaking Marge for her cousin of the same name, ordered the wrong bride. Now Gavin and his would-be bride must sort through the confusion and deal with the unexpected arrival of the right cousin.

In one complete volume of the Prairie Promises series, Kelly Eileen Hake weaves history and fiction into three unforgettable stories of love, adversity, and faith.
