The Dove by Shanna Hatfield

The 12 Days of Christmas Mail-Order Brides Series (Book 2)

Holiday Fiction/Frontier Holiday Fiction

Bewitched, beguiled, and in over his head. . .

The marvelous, mysterious woman is his bride-to-be?

Culver Daniels spent years cultivating a peaceful, orderly existence with his blacksmith shop and livery business. Then the pastor of Noelle landed upon a crazy scheme to save the town by sending for a bunch of mail-order brides. Despite his determination to remain single, Culver finds himself among those agreeing to wed. The moment he meets the beautiful gypsy woman he’s promised to marry, he realizes life will never be the same.

Widow Kezia Mirga has no desire to marry again. Yet, for the sake of her most cherished treasure, she decides to wed a man in a remote Colorado mining town. She arrives to find nothing as she expected, the town in a state of turmoil, and her intended far more handsome and charming than she imagined. Dare she dream of a future with the burly blacksmith, or should she escape back to Denver before she loses her heart?

Will true love triumph over secrets and surprises in this sweet and wholesome holiday romance?

The Dove is second in a series of 12 novellas.

REVIEW

A short read which is what I was looking for.  This had been on my TBR for awhile and I was looking for a quick read. It is well written. Not my favorite reads of this author, but still a good story.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

USA Today Bestselling Author Shanna Hatfield writes character-driven romances with relatable heroes and heroines.
Her historical westerns have been described as “reminiscent of the era captured by Bonanza and The Virginian” while her contemporary works have been called “laugh-out-loud funny, and a little heart-pumping sexy without being explicit in any way.”
Convinced everyone deserves a happy ending, this hopeless romantic is out to make it happen, one story at a time. When she isn’t writing or indulging in chocolate (dark and decadent, please), Shanna hangs out with her husband, lovingly known as Captain Cavedweller.
