Shirley's Desperate Decision
(2026)(The second book in the Rejected Mail-Order Match series)
A novel by Lynne Lanning
Ever since inheriting her father'''s estate, the community had turned against Shirley, calling the money tainted and treating her with open hostility. She no longer felt safe, forced into hiding at a hotel. She had fallen for the gentleman she’d been writing to—and she needed to leave town.
Bradley, unaware of her inheritance, invited her West for a brief courtship and marriage. He seemed honorable, and the chance for a fresh start was too tempting to refuse.
But soon after arriving, Shirley’s trust begins to unravel. One evening, she overhears a conversation between Bradley and another man—one that puts her life in grave danger.
Now she must run again.
Only this time, if she’s caught, she won’t just be hurt—she’ll be killed.
