      Mail Order Bride: Comforting The Cowboy

      (A Clean & Wholesome Historical Romance)

      By

      Synopsis: A woman takes a chance on life and heads out to the west to become, first, a companion to a widower and to help him with his children. When she tells him her secret, and fears that he has deserted her, she decides to tough it out and make her own living in town. Things start to go downhill from there.

      Mary Jackson looked at the crumpled letter in her hand and a few tears trickled down her cheeks. Her nephew Dusty, and everyone had called him that since he was a child but his real name was Daniel, had written in desperation. She could see that through every wobbly word on the page. His writing was not easy to decipher but she knew that it must have cost him a great deal to put pen to paper.

      Dusty Jones had grown up in Montana where her sister and husband had made a new life. He loved the wide-open spaces and he had matured into a fine young man and a good, reliable cowboy. Riding a horse had seemed as natural as breathing to Dusty and then he met and married Barbara. Mary was proud of her nephew and his family. She was their only living relative and Dusty, Barbara and the three children were her pride and joy even though she was many miles away in Boston.

      Barbara's death was a tragedy and now, Mary realized, even more of a major disaster than she could ever have imagined. She could smell the whisky on the streaky paper and see where the words had run together.

      What of the children? She thought in panic, and her eyes filled again as she read.

      Please help me somehow, Aunt Mary. I am all alone.

      Mary Jackson pulled on a jacket and walked down to the little church at the end of the street. It's white painted walls always filled her with happy expectation and she quietly went inside and knelt down to ask for help. Then she smiled a little, straightened up and set off on her mission.

      Hannah Carter was praying very hard that this stagecoach journey would soon be at an end. Prayers had been her mainstay over the long and uncomfortable journey from Boston to Hilltop Spring. She was twenty-five years old and this journey had seemed like a wonderful opportunity for a whole new start in her life. She clutched at the side handle as the coach lurched violently yet again. Now the reality of it all she was beginning to wonder if she had made the right decision.

      The only other woman on the coach grabbed her hand and squeezed it and the two women held onto each other.

      We are almost there, ladies, the man opposite told them, but he too, was holding on to the handle for support. We've been lucky. No robberies, no attacks and no accidents.

      Hannah found a weak smile as she responded.

      Just shaken about a lot. She replied. It had been a very long two weeks of travel and the Bozeman Trail was not for the faint
