This is the story of two sisters from the East who hear a man speaking at their church of the opportunity and need for women in the west. He shows them a paper called Matrimonial News, filled with photos of men looking for women to start a new life with. He was looking to benefit by capitalizing on the disproportionate amount of men to women in the West by telling them that if they agreed to it..., everyone was a winner. Eliza is skeptical, having a hard time accepting that marriage should be about social and economic security alone, but her older sister, Maggie, who she has always taken care of and couldn't imagine life without, is excited at the prospect. With much prompting from their mother, who is now a widow thanks to the war, the girls begin their journey west, armed with a few dollars, a trunk full of possessions, memories of a former life, and a handful of letters from their "intendeds." Maggie is enthralled with Charles, the man she plans to marry. Eliza, however, is harder to impress. Not only does she have concerns about Charles, what happens when she finds out that her own "betrothed" has a history of treason to the country she loves? As Maggie prepares for her wedding and her life as a bride, Eliza struggles with doubts and questions and discovers along the way that sometimes, the unknown isn't always a bad thing. As the gold rush drew men like flies to the West, the Civil War was killing off hundreds of thousands in the East. The women in the East were left with few men to choose from when it came time to be a bride, and little job opportunity when one realized she was now a widow. The loneliness also came then with the social stigma of being a spinster. Out West, only a few of the hopeful prospectors were striking it rich, but many of them stayed on anyway, to do things like mining for others, farming, and ranching. There was even ample opportunity to open and prosper from a new business. The only thing these men were lacking to create a family and build communities, were wives. Enter the mail order bride, the supply from the East that would meet the demand in the West.

Some might call Princess Anja of Ivermere brave for offering herself up as a bride to Kael the Conqueror, a barbarian warlord who'd won his crown by the bloodied edge of his sword. It was not courage that drove Anja from her magic-wielding family's enchanted palace, however, but a desperate attempt to secure a kingdom of her own-even if she has to kill the Conqueror to do it. She expects pain beneath his brutal touch as she awaits her chance. She expects death if he discovers the truth of her intentions. She didn't expect Kael to reject her and send her back to Ivermere. Raised in the ashes of the Dead Lands, Kael fears nothing-certainly not the beautiful sorceress who arrives at his mountain stronghold. But no matter how painful his need for her, Kael has no use for a bride who would only tolerate his kiss. Yet the more of Anja's secrets he uncovers during their journey to return her home, the more determined he becomes to win the princess's wary heart. And Kael the Conqueror has never been defeated... This print edition also includes BEAUTY IN SPRING by Kati Wilde.

A historical western cowboy romance novel about a mail order bride. In 1864, the Civil War raged on, leaving in its wake hundreds of thousands of young men dead and similar numbers of young women widows or spinsters without a hope of finding a husband. At the same time the young men who had gone out west to make their fortunes in the gold mines were beginning to long for real towns and cozy homes. A few enterprising men decided that there was money to be made in uniting the two. The Journey: Part 2 is about one such man named Marshall, who set out on a quest to find young women with enough of an adventurous spirit to travel thousands of miles, promising to marry a man they had only met through pictures and letters. On one of his trips back east, two young women Eliza and Maggie Barry are urged by their mother to sign up. Eliza wants no part of it, but her sister Maggie a child in a woman's body is intent on going.
