A Covert Courtship
(2026)(A book in the Mail-Order Brides Undercover series)
A novel by Elaine Manders
Three years ago, Laurie Gibbs left the Brides of Liberty Bureau to begin the life she had always dreamed of. But her dreams were shattered far too soon. Now widowed and with no place to call home, Laurie returns to the agency, trusting God to guide her future even when the path ahead seems uncertain.
Her next assignment takes her to the Wyoming ranch of Brett Nichols, a wealthy cattleman suspected of murdering his first wife. Posing as his mail-order bride, Laurie intends to uncover the truth—not lose her heart. Having already endured the pain of a disappointing marriage, she's determined never to make the same mistake twice.
Yet the man she meets is nothing like the one she expected. Brett is a devoted father struggling to protect his precious three-year-old daughter, the only witness to her mother's murder. As Laurie grows to care for the little girl, she begins to see a man of quiet strength, steadfast faith, and tender compassion beneath the shadow of suspicion.
When danger threatens those she has come to love, Laurie must decide whether to trust the evidence before her—or the gentle leading of the Lord. Can two wounded hearts find the courage to believe in love again, or will the secrets of the past steal their hope for a future together?
