Lula (Cowboys & Debutantes: Historical Book 5)

Lula Stout, along with her sisters and cousins, had a charmed life. Emphasis on the word “had.” They lived in New York City, the daughters of rich shipping magnates. And in a blink of an eye, they were reduced to nothing, their father and uncle’s business gone. Right along with their reputations. To help fix the mess, Lula’s step-mother forces Lula and her sisters to become mail-order brides, sending each off without informing them where the others are going. Reeling from loss and not knowing if she’ll ever see her sisters again, Lula steps off the stage in a little town called Clear Creek, wondering what the future will bring. What she brought was a whole lot of anger and heartache.Baxter Adams wanted a wife. Unfortunately the pickings were slim in Clear Creek and he wanted the adventure of meeting someone brand new, getting married, and forging ahead with life! What he didn’t count on was that his future bride might not like the town. After all, Clear Creek wasn’t just any old place. Things happened there. Lots of things that couldn’t be explained. What if she heard about too many of them before they could marry? Worse, when he finds out she’s not only from the state of New York, but the city itself, he’s doomed. How can he convince the daughter of a rich businessman to stay? And how was he going to deal with his feelings of not measuring up?
