This is a week for friends. Today, Cynthia Woolf
shares her new release, THE UNEXPECTED
BRIDE, with readers. Cynthia and I have worked on several projects
together, including the Surprise Brides, the Montana Sky Kindle World, and
American Mail-Order Brides series. I’m so pleased she’s willing to be here now.
Blurb for THE
UNEXPECTED BRIDE:
Alice
Carter found herself a widow, her doctor husband murdered as he left the
hospital where he worked. Alice, too, is a doctor and thought she wouldn’t have
any trouble finding a position with the hospital where her husband had been so
well regarded.
She
was wrong. Seems no one wanted a female doctor, especially one in mourning.
Seeing no other way out, Alice becomes a mail-order bride to a doctor in Hope’s
Crossing in the Montana Territory.
Dr.
Jeremiah Kilarney, needs help. He needs a nurse to assist him with his
patients. Knowing he has to marry the woman or she’ll be inundated with
marriage proposals from the lonely miners, he goes to Matchmaker & Co.
Specifying his need for a nurse or someone willing to be trained as one, he’s
surprised when Alice Carter, doctor, steps out of the stagecoach with her
precocious daughter Melly.
Can Alice and Jeremiah
have a future when ghosts from her past still hold her heart?
Hope's Crossing can be
the answer to their future or the end of their dreams.

THE
UNEXPECTED BRIDE Excerpt:
Alice, Melly and Doc went into
the restaurant and Effie seated them at a table.
“What can I get for you three?”
“Just water for me, milk for
Melly,” said Alice.
“Water for me, too, Effie,” said
Doc.
“Sure thing. Be right back,” said
the little woman.
After Effie left, Doc looked
across the table at Alice. “All right what would you like to know, Mrs. Carter?
Or may I call you Alice?”
“Alice is fine. Why are you still
single at your age? Surely you’ve run across women of the marriageable
variety.”
He lifted his eyebrows. “I’ve
never had the time to court a woman before marrying her. That’s why I wanted a
mail-order bride.”
“I thought you wanted a nurse and
were to marry her only because you had to.”
“That’s true. You’re a nurse are
you not?”
“No.”
“Well, I did also ask for someone
willing to learn. Are you willing?”
“No.”
He rubbed his hands over his
face. I must not be angry. “Then what
was the point of you coming here? Surely not to marry me. There were probably a
lot of more eligible men than me.”
Alice folded her hands on the
table and aimed her violet gaze at Doc.
“I’m sorry for misleading you
with the question about the nurse. Actually, I’m a doctor. I graduated from the
Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania and I want to practice medicine. As you
know from the letter Miss Wyatt sent you, I lost my husband six months ago and
have been unable to find a position in New York. I came here hoping my skills
would help you and that we could work together.”
Doc’s eyes had widened when she
first said she was a doctor then he narrowed them. A doctor? Not likely.

| Cynthia Woolf, Author |
Cynthia Woolf is the award winning and best-selling author of
twenty-two historical western romance books and two short stories with more
books on the way.
Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western
romance TAME A WILD HEART, was inspired by the story her mother told her of
meeting Cynthia’s father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although TAME A WILD
HEART takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories.
Her father was a cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid
(called a nanny now) not the ranch owner. The ranch they met on is still there
as part of the open space in Mineral County in southwestern Colorado.
Writing as CA Woolf she has six scifi, space opera romance
titles. She calls them westerns in space.
Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and her
great critique partners for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her
creativity.
