Hello, can anyone recommend a good mail order bride-type story, set in the past? Thanks in advance.

Any specific genre?  Americas?  Scotland? England?

High Plains Bride by Linda Lael Miller. This is the 1st McKettrick's book. An old man tells his 3 sons that the 1st to marry and have a child will get the ranch.  This Rafe and Emmaline's story.  He sends away for a mail order bride. She becomes a mail order bride because her mother is a brothel madam and she's looked down upon.

<i>Adam's Promise</i> by Julianne MacLean is sort of a mail order bride story. He writes a letter asking for his old flame to come marry him in America and her father sends her sister instead.

Come Spring by Jill Marie Landis, Daniel's Bride by Linda Lael Miller, Duncan's Bride by Linda Howard

These are my favorites!

Summer Moon- Jill Marie Landis (American Historical/ Western setting)

The Unexpected Wife and The Perfect Wife - Mary Burton (historical)

Morning Comes Softly-Debbie Macomber (contemporary, western setting)

Annie in the Morning- Curtiss Ann Matlock (contemporary, western setting)

Jodi Thomas has a few historical western mail order bride storylines also

The Brides of Prairie Gold- Maggie Osborne

Second Chance Bride-Carolyn Davidson

Big Sky Rancher (Montana Mavericks series) -Carolyn Davidson

A Wild Yearning- Penelope Williamson
