Remy's Christmas Letters
(2027)(A book in the Outpost Collection: Christmas Letters series)
A novel by Linda Carroll-Bradd
The formation of the Pony Express provides Remy Warrane with an option more exciting than apprentice blacksmith. But rejected for being too big physically, he accepts work as a hostler at a remote relay station in Ruby Valley, Utah Territory—a place of dust, danger, and endless sky. The horses keep him busy, but the solitude threatens to swallow him whole. Franz, a young rider, suggests writing to his sister back in St. Joseph, and Remy grabs onto the idea like a lifeline.
Audris Hadwyn feels trapped in the dull rhythm of the Wallace Hat Factory. With her brother Franz gone west, she aches for adventure and for a real purpose. When a letter arrives from Franz''s friend—a gentle, thoughtful man living in a wild frontier—Audris discovers a connection she never expected. Their letters become her escape over the cold winter… and her hope. Then news arrives: Franz has been gravely injured.
Remy warns her the West is no place for the fainthearted, but he also offers a daring path forward—come west as his mail-order bride. Audris accepts, ready to gamble everything to reach her brother’s side. But when she steps off the stagecoach and meets Remy in the flesh, will the spark born in ink and paper survive the real world?
This kisses-only romance contains tropes of mail-order bride, epistolary love, and yearning across the miles.
Genre: Inspirational
