Josephine Banff Bride
(2026)(Book 32 in the National Park Brides series)
A novel by Marlene Bierworth
Josephine Gillian is a thief, on the run from her father and fiancé, who embarks on a hunt for a stepsister she did not know existed—until the day her world, as she knew it, fell apart. Brett Marenger works his way west, heading for Bankhead, a newly established coal mining town, outside Banff, Alberta. Both collide during a train robbery while on route.
Josie’s Eastern traditions are challenged in a Western environment where nothing is familiar to the fleeing woman-child. Brett’s loneliness compels him to seek a mail-order bride. When all looks like opposites will never attract, a trip to the base of Cascade Mountain will settle the matter.
Was it providence that the role of a married woman had been forced on Josie to save her dignity and perhaps her life? Or did it the façade signal their fate? Join Brett and Josie as romance builds between two unsuspecting hearts. Order today.
Note: The author’s third contribution to this National Park Brides series, (Josephine Banff Bride) begins in 1905, eighteen years following Louise’s arrival in Banff (Louise Banff Bride) and Rosa’s introduction in 1884 Marlene’s first book, (Rosa Banff Hot Springs Bride,) which changed the landscape of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. All 3 books are standalone but progress in time as Banff Park grows.
Genre: Inspirational
