The Twice-Jilted Christmas Bride
(2026)(A book in the Christmas Brides on the Frontier series)
A novel by Faith Reynolds
Jilted again. Her second groom vanished. Her first owns the only hotel in town.
Hazel Kirkwood reaches Sweetgrass, Montana Territory, expecting to marry before Christmas.
Instead, Virgil Nance has disappeared into the mountains chasing silver, leaving Hazel with eleven dollars, a pile of his unpaid bills, and no fare home.
There is work to be had at the Doyle House. Unfortunately, its proprietor is Harlan Doyle—the man who left Hazel standing at the altar seven years ago back East.
Hazel agrees to keep his books on strict terms: fair wages, a room of her own, and no mention of Ohio. But as snow closes in on Sweetgrass and Christmas draws the town together, late evenings over the hotel ledgers begin to soften old certainties.
Then word comes down from the mountains.
Virgil has struck silver.
And now, the groom who left Hazel waiting is coming back for her.
This approximately 58,000-word novel, complete with a happily ever after, is perfect for readers who love:
