While it is a multi-author series, all books can be read as standalones. I will include the links to the books by the other author’s in the series as well.

**THIS IS A 2000 WORD SHORT STORY WHICH INTRODUCES YOU TO THE MATCHMAKER IN THE MILLSHORE BRIDES, MULTI-AUTHOR SERIES.**
Alice Durant has known great love in her life, and after watching her daughter almost marry a man who was not who he said he was, she has taken it upon herself to help other women find their own love story.

WYATT'S BRIDE
Sometimes family isn’t always who is related to you by blood. Family means the people who were there when you needed them, and who would never leave you behind.
After working in the textile mill for a few years, Rebecca is ready to start a new life. When the matron of the boardinghouse where she lives finds a match for her with a man out west looking for a bride, she jumps at the chance. She hopes she can find a man to love, who will love her in return.
Wyatt really isn’t looking for love. But, he wants to adopt an orphan boy who needs him, so he knows having a wife would help. When he puts up the ad for a mail order bride, he just hopes he can find someone suitable to help him raise a young boy.
But, when Rebecca steps off the train, he knows he might have more than he had bargained for.
Can Rebecca and Wyatt figure out a way to get through the turmoil of their first few weeks of marriage, as people from the past start showing up threatening to destroy the foundation they’ve built? A story about love, hope and the importance of knowing who your real family is.
GATLIN'S BRIDE
Audrey has watched her friends leave the textile mill to go in search of their “happy-ever-after”, while knowing it’s not something she can have for herself. But when circumstances change and she’s given that one chance for her own happiness, she knows she needs to take it.
She’s never been witness to love, only learning why men should never be trusted or counted on.
Gatlin is starting a newspaper in the small town of Cottonwood Hill, and really doesn’t have time to be courting a woman he has never met. But he has watched his best friend find love with a mail order bride, and he wants that for himself.
When Audrey arrives, they start to form a tentative relationship while working together at the newspaper. But when her past shows up in town, reminding her why she can’t trust anyone but herself, everything they’ve built could be shattered in an instant.
Can Gatlin convince her it’s time to let herself trust someone other than herself, and that some men would move heaven and earth for the woman they love?
