Melissa Bradley was orphaned at a young age and knew nothing of what it was like to have a true family. At the age of 16, she is now forced to leave the only home she’s ever known to become a mail-order bride. She only hopes for one thing, though: a family.

Nathan Warren grew up a troublemaker in the midst of a large family. In order to escape his father’s disapproval and the potential of harsh discipline, he ran off to become a sailor and travel the world. Along the way, he found more than he bargained for. With faith firmly planted in the Lord and the desire for marriage, he sets out on a new journey, traveling home with the woman he’s brought out west.

The only problem is that he hasn’t told Melissa of his large family or his past misdeeds. What will she think of them? As for Melissa, she wondered what and why Nathan chooses to keep things from her and if it’s possible he has any family—a subject he avoids discussing.

Will they find a way to finally be honest with one another?

Melissa's story is one of the amazing tales in the Western romance collection, Young Love Historical Romance: Volume 2, by number-one best-selling clean Christian romance authors Misty Shae and Terri Grace.
