About this listen
Remaining in her Virginia hometown won't mend Clara Brown's broken heart. Determined to set her life back in order--and go somewhere she won't have to see her former beau--she answers an advertisement for a mail-order bride. Before she knows it, she's arrived in Crest Stone, a rugged new railroad town nestled between the mountains in Colorado. And when she meets her intended, he's better than she ever could have dreamed--handsome and kind, even if he does seem preoccupied.
Roman Carlisle is a cowboy turned livery owner. More than anything, he wants what his brothers have--a family. When Clara answers his advertisement, he's overjoyed to find she's exactly who he wanted. But her arrival coincides with horses going missing from his stable. If he can't find out who's behind the thefts, he'll lose everything he's worked so hard for.
Clara is determined to help Roman when she finds out he's losing both horses and customers. But when the horse thieves grow more threatening, Roman is faced with a choice--send back the woman he's come to love, or put her life in danger.
The Crest Stone Mail-Order Brides is a spin-off from Cat's Gilbert Girls series. This is a sweet and clean romance set in the Old West. Like all of Cat's books, it will warm your heart and fill you with hope!
Go back to the beginning, before Crest Stone became a town, with the Gilbert Girls series:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SW7ZM55

It’s the flight before Christmas and Molly just got an unexpected gift: a free first-class upgrade on her plane trip home for the holidays. Bring on the complimentary cocktails! But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off. At least she never has to see Liam again ... or so she thinks.

Oops.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
Eight years ago, Ava and Joseph had the perfect future planned—he would go to veterinary school, she would embark on a career with an exclusive modeling agency, and they’d eventually get married and have three dogs and four children. But then a terrible accident changed everything. Unwilling to believe they could still have a future, she made Joseph promise to leave and live out their dreams without her. Joseph has never broken a promise to Ava...until now. Before he made that stupid promise to leave, they’d made each other another promise—one of forever.
