The Christmas Deception
(2025)(A book in the Mail Order Brides of Idaho series)
A Story by Susannah Calloway
Vivian Sterling has everything a woman could dream of—wealth, beauty, and an upcoming Christmas wedding to one of Boston’s most eligible merchants. But hours before she’s to walk down the aisle, Vivian flees into the night. Behind her glittering future lies a dark truth: the man she’s meant to marry, Theodore Blackwood, is cruel beyond measure.
Taking on the identity of her maid, Victoria Hartwell, Vivian answers an advert for a mail-order bride in the distant mining town of Silver City, Idaho. Her new husband, the kind and handsome Dr. James Crawford, seems to offer the safety and affection she’s been longing for. Yet as their bond deepens, she begins to sense that James, too, is hiding something.
When the shadows of her past threaten to find her, Vivian must decide whether to trust her heart—or risk everything to keep her new life from unraveling.
