Letters to Caroline by AJ Goode

When Caroline Morgan agrees to marry a stranger in order to escape a worse fate at home, she hopes for a peaceful life in the quiet town of Serenity, Michigan. But she finds herself alone in a strange town with nowhere to go, and she is forced to accept a proposal from yet another stranger.

Adam Phillips needs a wife to help him raise his brother’s children. Heartbroken and betrayed once before, he vows to find a woman who will agree to a marriage without love. And when he finds mail-order bride Caroline Morgan abandoned at the train station, he thinks she just might be exactly what he is looking for.

Adam and Caroline soon discover that their growing feelings for each other may change their relationship into something more, but outside forces threaten to rip them apart. As Adam struggles to thaw his frozen heart, Caroline must find a way to keep her past from catching up with her. But will they survive when disaster strikes?
