I was so grateful when Lisa invited me to be part of the group! These covers are absolutely gorgeous. It was wonderful to work with the cover designer and all of the authors.

Isn’t Adelaide adorable?

Sometimes the remedy you need isn’t the one you’d prescribe.

While her father and brother fought in the Civil War, Adelaide Breck kept the family apothecary—and the rest of her fraying household—from falling apart. She managed the shop, treated the sick, and politely resisted the urge to dose her quarrelsome sister-in-law with a sleeping draught.

Now, with her father gone and her inheritance halved, Adelaide finds herself squeezed out of the very life she held together. Just as she scrapes together enough to start fresh up north, her bank collapses—taking her dreams with it.
So she does the unthinkable: writes to a Mrs. Ella Milton, proprietress of the Pelican Rapids Bridal Agency in Minnesota. Her terms? A marriage of convenience. No romance, no children, and absolutely no nonsense.

Mrs. Milton, however, has other ideas. A widowed professor with four unruly sons has recently written for a bride, and while he’s the last man Adelaide would choose, Ella can’t help feeling he just might be the one she needs.

One woman chasing a second chance. One man barely treading water. And one meddling matchmaker who’s about to stir up a miracle.
