Montana Brides

Sometimes you don’t realize what’s truly precious until you’re about to lose it.

Wanted for her abusive husband’s murder, Josie Callahan flees North Carolina with nothing but the clothes on her back and an unborn child she must protect. Her last option is to seek refuge in the Montana Territory, posing as a mail-order bride for a man she’s never met.

Travis Blythe believes he’s ill-suited to properly care for his children, especially when the reason they are motherless looms over him like a dark cloud. When he places an ad for a bride, he expects a mature and capable woman, not a young and mysterious one with no experience raising children.

With only lies binding them, Josie fears trusting Travis, knowing he’d never accept her past or the secret child she carries. Meanwhile, Travis senses Josie’s hiding something, yet the harder he tries to uncover the truth, the more he’s drawn to her—despite his vow to keep his heart out of it. But when a vengeful enemy from Josie’s past emerges from the shadows, they must confront their deepest fears and stand together to protect the innocent lives they hold dear.

Set in the rugged beauty of 19th-century Yellowstone, this heartfelt novel weaves faith, love, and suspense into one unforgettable story. Fans of Love Comes Softly and Bonanza will be drawn to its marriage of convenience, family bonds, and redemption. What You Can't Lose is a story of hope, courage, and second chances—the beginning of a moving western trilogy.
