This is the second book in the Mail Order Bride series--and actually the reason I picked up The Dancing Bride, the first in this series (see my review here). Sapphires are my favorite gems--(maybe because it is my birthstone)? I just could not resist!!
I am so glad I did!! Both of these novels have the main female character running to the mail order bride office to escape people who are trying to or who would like to kill them! Ava, in this novel is one strong female character. Her new husband has a lot to learn and she is just the one to teach him.
When the killers come to town ---- well I don't want to give up the whole story---you'll just have to read it! I will be reading more in this series--that is a promise to myself!!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
Ava Lewis is a jewelry maker, the only women jeweler where she works or that she knows in the business. Ava opens her door to find her brother who immediately falls unconscious to the floor. When she gets him awake and onto the sofa he tells her he’s dying, wounded by a poisoned blade. He demands that she take his pouch full of jewels and run. The only option she sees is to sign up as a mail-order bride under an assumed name, Jane Smith.
Seamus ‘Lucky’ Madigan is a saloon owner. He won three different saloons in poker games and now makes a good living from the businesses. He sees how happy his friend and former captain is with his mail-order bride and orders one for himself. He desires a bride who hasn’t known every man in town in an intimate way. Someone he could introduce to his mother, if he had one alive.
When the same man who killed her brother comes after Ava it will take all his skill with a knife and as a part of a sniper unit to protect his new bride.

Cynthia Woolf is the award-winning and best-selling author of thirty-two historical western romance books and two short stories with more books on the way.
Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A Wild Heart was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia's father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now) not the ranch owner.
Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and her great critique partners for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.
