JOSIE: BRIDE OF NEW MEXICO
~ by USA Today Bestselling Author Kristin Holt ~

Josie and her twin sister Lessie are entirely on their own. When the Brown Textile Mill burns and Lessie loses her job, long-unemployed Josie insists they seize the opportunity for a fresh start with a pair of husbands in Utah Territory... their best chance of remaining together.

The illusion shatters minutes after the wedding ceremonies when Lessie's new husband Richard Cannon sends the other couple far away to New Mexico Territory. Cannon Mining is under attack from within, and Josie's husband Adam requires her help to bridge the chasm between his silver-spoon upbringing and the workers he employs--men who won't hesitate to kill to achieve their goals.

Can a genuine and abiding love be forged from a marriage of convenience?

Set in 1890, along the railway from Territory of Utah to Territory of New Mexico, this Sweet Western Historical Mail-Order Bride Novel is 196 paperback pages long, and rated a PG for situational violence (an unidentified villain is determined Adam and Josie will not reach the New Mexico mine alive) and brief references to the newlyweds' marital intimacies (not shown within the scenes). All of Kristin Holt's titles are G- and PG-rated: "Sweet Romances Appropriate for All Audiences".

Josie's story is complete with her own HEA (happily ever after). Her twin sister's story (Lessie: Bride of Utah, #45 in American Mail-Order Brides Series) is intertwined yet also stands alone. Many readers have suggested reading Lessie first, followed by Josie, though no spoilers will interrupt the story's flow if Josie is read first. Both books are designed to be read independently--so no need to read Lessie to enjoy Josie's full story and hard-won happy ending.
