Wishes in Wyoming
(2026)(The third book in the Mail-Order Brides of Misfortune series)
A novel by Regina Walker
In the wind-scoured reaches of Wyoming Territory lies Havenwood, a dusty frontier town where cattle thieves and churchgoers worship beneath the same wide sky—and danger has a way of hiding behind familiar faces.
Widower Noah Clifton has no intention of falling in love again. His heart belongs to the wife he buried, and all he wants now is a dependable woman to care for his one-year-old daughter, Ruby. So when his uncle tells him of a young woman who needs a husband’s protection—and quickly—Noah agrees to a marriage of convenience. Not because he believes he deserves a second chance at happiness, but because Ruby deserves something as close to a mother as he can give her.
Ada Graham has spent more than six months running for her life.
Hidden away with her sisters and the devoted caretaker who raised them, Ada knows safety cannot last forever. When marriage to a Wyoming widower offers her a chance to disappear beyond the reach of the man hunting her family, she accepts. But upon arriving in Havenwood, Ada discovers Noah’s uncle neglected to mention two rather important details: Noah has an infant daughter…and a dead wife whose memory still seems to fill every corner of his home.
Now Ada must learn to become a wife to a man who does not want one and a mother to a child she never expected, all while trying to build a life in a place as lonely and unfamiliar as the windswept plains surrounding it.
But the past has followed the Graham sisters farther than any of them imagined.
As danger draws nearer and the fragile walls between Ada and Noah begin to crumble, they must decide whether their marriage is merely a refuge—or whether God can make something living and beautiful from two hearts convinced they have nothing left to give.
Ada may finally be safe from the man pursuing her.
But in the barren beauty of Wyoming, she is about to discover that sometimes the heart is the hardest place to find refuge.
