                                       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.
