The Bride Ship

October 1, 2014
Allegra Howard can't go back to Boston. While her family means well, Allegra is suffocating under all of the rules and restrictions they think she needs. Going to Seattle will give Allegra the opportunity to build a new life for herself and her daughter, Gillian. Clay Howard has been to Seattle, and he knows that it's no place for a lady. But Clay can't convince his widowed sister-in-law to abandon her plans to move west, which leaves him with no choice but to join Allegra and Gillian on their voyage on the Continental. After all, if you can't beat them, join them! With the first in her new Frontier Bachelor series, Scott (The Husband Campaign, 2014) switches gears from her usual Regency-era setting for the postCivil War frontier. The result is a captivating, adventure-filled romance that effectively conveys the grit and gumption required by those who settled the American far west.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
