Early Reviewers

Mail-order bride Ruthanna Helms travels to Prosper, District of Alberta, to marry Bertram Milligan. Determined not to repeat her mother’s mistakes, Ruthanna will only say “I do” once her papa’s debts are repaid and the jade mine she prospects is in production.

Bertram is a family-oriented man with a quiet presence. He keeps his younger brother, Mack, on the straight and narrow and cares for an ailing father. But when Bertram’s past catches up with him and threatens Ruthanna’s jade mine, Ruthanna is faced with a hard choice. Will she choose independence or love?

What’s a woman to do when her future is snatched from her? Fight for it.
