You will receive books 1 and 3 of The Texas Boardinghouse Brides trilogy by Vickie McDonough, a Christian historical romance series set in 1886 Texas. These first edition copies with original cover art is now out of print. Since I am a librarian, I had a phase where I was adding protective book tape to the front and back edge of my paperback covers and along the spine. The Anonymous Bride has book tape applied, Finally a Bride does not. Book 1 The Anonymous Bride: "Vickie McDonough is a CBA, EPCA, and Amazon best-selling author of more than 50 published books and novellas. Luke Davis tells his cousins he'd get married if the right woman ever came along, never imagining the mayhem such a remark would make. For a month later, three mail-order brides arrive, courtesy of his well-meaning, scheming cousins. How will he decide which one is right for him? Widowed boardinghouse owner Rachel Hamilton still loves Luke but never worked up the courage to tell him. Now that three brides have shown up, vying for his hand, Rachel is totally unnerved. What will she do if Luke marries someone else? Will he ever realize that sometimes love is right in front of you?" Book 3 Finally a Bride: "Noah Jeffers is determined to make up for past misdeeds. Reporter Jacqueline Davis is determined to nail her story. Will she uncover Noah’s secret before he can capture her heart? With nowhere else to go, ex-con Carly Payton returns to the Lookout boardinghouse. Garrett Corbett is looking for an upstanding wife, not some jailbird. What will he do when overpowered by Carly’s unassuming appeal? Does love deserve a second look?"
