Santa's Mail-Order Bride

SANTA'S MAIL-ORDER BRIDE is the delightful sequel to VICTORIA, BRIDE OF KANSAS, part of the American Mail-Order Brides series. A well-intentioned matchmaker has plans for a scheming Santa that don't involve falling in love... Schoolteacher Maggie O'Brien comes home for Christmas on a mission: to gather toys for orphans living on poor farms. She's made her list, but there's no Santa in sight. Not until a local shopkeeper volunteers his services. Gordon Sumner has set his mind on winning on the black-haired Irish beauty, but Maggie's brother is his fiercest competitor, and O'Brien's loyal sister gives him the cold shoulder. Undaunted, he comes up with a clever plan. Maggie sees through the fake Santa's ploy, but with Christmas just around the corner, she's running out of time to make the holiday happy for needy children. She accepts his help-with a plan of her own. She'll play matchmaker and find her persistent suitor the perfect bride. Find other books by E. E. Burke www.eeburke.com
