Not Young, Not Rich, Not Handsome
(2026)(A book in the Mail-Order Brides of Arizona series)
A novel by Faith Reynolds and Gretchen Wheeler
No sensible woman would answer his advertisement. But Olive Marden is tired of being sensible.
For nineteen years, Olive has kept her brother’s household running while everyone else got on with having a life.
Then she finds an advertisement from Arizona Territory:
Wife wanted. Not young, not rich, not handsome. Steady.
Olive sees what everyone else misses when they laugh at his candid words.
Amon Pryor expects a practical wife. Olive expects an honest bargain. Neither expects strong coffee, evenings around the kitchen table, a thirteen-year-old boy who keeps finding reasons to stay, or a marriage that starts feeling dangerously like home.
Then Olive’s family sends for her.
They need her back in Ohio.
Amon asked a stranger to cross the country and become his wife. But asking the woman he loves to stay?
That may be the one thing he cannot make himself do.
Perfect for readers who love:
