The Pioneer Brides of Rattlesnake Ridge

The Pioneer Brides of Rattlesnake Ridge is a sweet historical romance series that revolves around a silver mining town in Nevada in the 1870s, and the women who shape the town’s destiny: from prospectors to mail order brides, teachers, doctors, and more. Each of these women carves out her own path and finds love in the wild west. The series is a “shared world,” meaning that different authors write their own stories set in the same location and with many of the same recurring characters. Welcome to Rattlesnake Ridge, Nevada!

Arriving from Arkansas

by Elisa Keyston

Will this couple’s secrets cause them to miss their chance at a happily-ever-after?

Josephine Lane arrived in Rattlesnake Ridge under false pretenses. As far as the townspeople know, she’s simply the new cook for the local boarding house. Nobody has to know the secret her late uncle shared with her before his death or how that same secret could make her the wealthiest person in the state of Nevada.

Jim Griffin works hard as a foreman at the local lumber mill. He also works hard to keep his real identity as an undercover lawman hidden as he closes in on his brother’s murderer. When the killer gets close, the last thing Jim needs is a distraction–especially the pretty blonde cook at the boarding house.

Jim and Josie’s separate secrets just might bring them closer than either could have predicted. But will they be able to resist falling in love when so much is already at stake for the both of them?
