Mail Order Bride - Lisette's Destiny Karla Gracey

When in trouble, running away can seem like the only option and a place like Faith Creek is a paradise beyond all imagining. The little Texan town has provided safe haven for many who long for a new start, and those who are prepared to take a gamble, especially on love. Lisette Gibbons has courage and steel. Having made the dangerous crossing from England to New York as a girl, losing her beloved Mammy, and keeping house for her often absent Dadda, she has few friends to turn to when trouble strikes. She reaches out of her small world to find that there are many people who are glad to help, but she fears them learning her dark secret. Merle Shipley loves his life. He enjoys running the town's busy postal office and has big ambitions for it. But he feels something may be missing. Watching so many of his friends find love has made him think about building a family, now his business is doing so well. But will his generous heart make him lose out when he offers sanctuary to a woman he has never even met?
