The Long, Slow Thaw (Sweet and Clean Inspirational Christian Romance Short Stories #2)
Angelica Rose

A second chance at love...
Mattie has always been a romantic at heart, but tragedy has left her fragile and wondering if happy endings only happen in fairy tales.
In post-war Charleston, after a long year of upheaval and grief, Mattie musters her resolve and decides to follow in her sister's footsteps and become a mail order bride out west. Agreeing to marry single rancher Jonas is an improvement over marrying one of her uncle’s lecherous friends, but Mattie isn’t over the pain of losing her former fiancé in the cruelest of ways.
Happy-go-lucky Jonas lives solo on a lonely stretch of plain outside Colorado Springs. When he meets Mattie, he thinks she’s perfect, but after hearing her tragic story he wonders how he can prove himself trustworthy.
During the worst storm Colorado has seen in a decade, Mattie must confront her pain and allow her heart to trust again. And the sweet man she’s trapped in the town hotel with is probably the best place to start.
A story of hope, fear, new beginnings and true love.
This is a sweet and clean Western romance and is a stand alone story, but don't forget to check outThe Business Arrangement, Book 1 in the Colorado Brides series, to find out how Mattie's sister Caroline's love story unfolds!
