🎄 The Blacksmith’s Christmas WishA Clean Historical Western Romance by Elara Wrenford

When everything she’s built is taken from her, can one courageous woman find the strength to start again—and the faith to open her heart before Christmas?

Lucinda Green has always believed her music could make the world a little brighter. But when she rejects the improper advances of a powerful Boston patron, his revenge destroys her livelihood and reputation. With no students left, no savings, and nowhere to turn, Lucinda faces a bleak winter—until a kind landlady shows her an advertisement for a mail-order bride in a small Wyoming town called Hope Hollow.

It sounds like fate.
A chance to begin again.
A chance to belong.

But when Lucinda arrives, her intended groom is nowhere to be found—off chasing work on the railroads, leaving her stranded in a town full of curious stares and whispered gossip. Desperate to keep her dignity, she accepts help from Caleb Boone, the town’s stoic blacksmith. Gruff and withdrawn, Caleb has lived three long years behind the quiet walls of grief after losing his wife and young son. The last thing he wants is a helpless city woman upending his ordered life.

Yet the more time Lucinda spends in Hope Hollow, the more she begins to prove she’s anything but helpless. She fills the air with music again, teaches the local children carols for Christmas, and slowly—softly—begins to melt the frost around Caleb’s heart. Her laughter returns color to his days; her faith rekindles a spark he thought had long since gone cold.

Still, both carry wounds that threaten to keep them apart. Lucinda’s past refuses to stay buried, and Caleb fears loving again means betraying the memory of the family he lost. But as snow falls over Hope Hollow and the sound of Lucinda’s music fills the church once more, both must remain bound by sorrow, or risk everything for a love that feels like a Christmas miracle.

✨ The Blacksmith’s Christmas Wish is a tender, heartwarming tale of second chances, redemption, and the quiet miracles that happen when love finds the courage to begin again.
