Mail-Order Mishap

by Mildred Colvin

Overview

A man looking for a wife to further his political career, a woman who needs a home after her husband’s death at the end of the Civil War, and the trusted escort who needs to forgive and find forgiveness with the father he hasn’t seen for ten years. Together they journey an emotional road of danger and healing.

After receiving word of her husband’s death, Olive Williams accepts the opportunity to marry a wealthy rancher in New Mexico territory. Mike Dugan is from Olive’s hometown, but she doesn’t remember meeting him. Reluctantly she begins the long journey and meets Mr. Dugan’s foreman who will be her escort. Samuel Conner is also from her hometown, and she remembers him as her rescuer when she was only ten and he was a troubled boy of thirteen.

Sam also remembers Olive, and her presence reminds him of his family and the deep rift between him and the father he hasn’t seen for ten years. After the shocking truth of her husband’s death is revealed, Olive becomes determined to stop at her brother’s farm for a visit, and Sam agrees when he learns that Olive’s brother is married to his older sister.

By now, Olive and Sam are thrown into emotional turmoil as they have fallen in love, but their loyalty to Mr. Dugan stands in the way of their happiness. Then outlaws with a vendetta against Sam threaten his and Olive’s life. Will they even make it as far as Kansas City before they’re torn apart?

About the Author

Mildred Colvin is a wife, mother of three, and grandmother to three beautiful girls. She started writing when her children were young as they asked for stories. Not from a book. No! They were only satisfied when she made up stories. As the stories grew, she wrote some down and sent them off to magazines. Eight were published before her imagination turned toward love stories, which is what she enjoys reading.

She has been writing Christian or clean and wholesome romance since 2001. Over the years several readers from pre-teens to older kids in their eighties and nineties have written expressing their interest in her books. She always loves to hear about one of her stories touching someone's heart. Her purpose in writing is to encourage, entertain, and bless someone else.

She lives in the United States and sets her characters in the middle states from Texas to Nebraska and Iowa and reaching across Illinois to Colorado. She also has an Oregon Trail series, but the Great Plains states are her favorite setting.

She is active in a very special critique group and has written and published over 60 books in both historical and contemporary themes, and plans to continue writing as long as God allows. He has been good in giving her many ideas for stories. Maybe more than she will be able to finish, but she enjoys each one.
