The Mail-Order Bride
It was to be the big day for Eli. His
fiancée, Molly, was coming in on a ship.
Two years earlier, unable to find work in
England, he had headed for America. His
ship was caught in a storm, and he ended
up, not in Pennsylvania as he planned, but
in Newfoundland.
But that was all behind him now. He
had written to Molly every day for the two
years, and now she was coming so they
could be married.
But Eli was in for a surprise. Unbeknownst to him, Molly
had married. She had bought him a mail-order bride, and Eli's
life was going to suddenly take an unexpected twist.
Essence Of The Heart, The Royal Tutor
Mystery, Intrigue, And Clean Romance!
When he is called before the queen,
Jacob, the handsome, young Captain of the
Royal Guard, is sure it is to discuss the
baffling increase in assassination attempts
against the royal family. Instead, the queen
assigns the shocked young captain to tutor
her out-of-control, tomboy daughter, Marie.
Humiliated at what he feels is a
degrading and impossible assignment, especially for a military
captain, he determines to train the princess like he would one
of his guardsmen. He will demand strong discipline, tough
academics, and sword combat training. He is sure that his
rigorous approach will push the princess to complain to her
mother, who will then remove him from the assignment.
But to his surprise, Marie instead responds positively to the
harsh discipline, and becomes a princess like no other.
