Publisher's summary
A nurse trying to dodge an arranged marriage, a doctor seeking true love, and his mail-order marriage proposal…
Dr. Rory Jude is tired of coming in second — second in his father’s affections, second-in-line to run the family business, and the second choice of his fiancée who always seems to have her eye on a wealthier prospective groom. Seeking a fresh start, he leaves the city to open a doctor's office out west. He finds himself in a town desperately short of marriageable women, until a chance encounter with a mail-order bride agency owner opens his eyes to another way to find a wife.
Convinced she's destined for greater things, Trudy Crandall skips her debutante season in order to attend the Boston School of Nursing. After she graduates, her family tries to rein in her bluestocking tendencies by pressuring her into an arranged marriage. To sever her financial dependence on them, she begs the Boomtown Mail Order Brides Agency to find her a husband who will support her dream of becoming a nurse. To her surprise, they claim to have the perfect groom in mind to make all her wishes come true!
Heartwarming historical romance with a dash of humor, a twist of intrigue, and a happily-ever-after! Each title in this series can be read as a standalone.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,838
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.
