Anything but Ordinary Love: Chicago Brides Book 2
Kat Lynne

The first frost of the year cracked beneath Florence Pembridge's boots as she left behind the grime and hardship of Chicago for the unknown plains of Kansas. With nothing but a worn carpetbag, a locket from her late mother, and a fragile hope, Florence answered a stranger's letter, stepping into a life as a mail-order bride.
But Tim was no ordinary man. The Highstonsville sheriff was kind, steady, and calm. Florence was haunted by the dangers that came with a man and a badge, but she vowed to be strong, just as she had always been.
Had she traded one hardship for another?
But every soft glance and every small kindness from Tim chips away at the walls she's built. As winter deepens on the Kansas plains, so do the feelings she never expected.
Tim never expected the woman from his letters to stir something deep within him. After losing too much already, he'd sworn never to risk his heart again. Yet Florence’s shy smiles and quiet determination erode the walls he’s built.
As Florence adjusts to frontier life and the dangers that come with being a sheriff’s wife, she wrestles with her own growing feelings—and the worry that consumes her every time Tim rides out on duty.
When duty causes Tim to be away for five long days, Florence must confront the she’s fallen for him.
As the bitter winds howl, she must decide if the life she feared might be the love she’s always longed for.
