Become a bride or lose her children! Two sisters must risk everything to save five orphans from a fate they know too well.

Merry and Polly Bird know firsthand the heartbreak of being unwanted or mistreated after arriving on an orphan train. Now adults, they're determined to protect five quirky, lovable children from a similar fate. By using their positions to record adoptions, the sisters secretly rescue the children least likely to find loving homes and bring them to their Mockingbird boarding house.

The children thrive under Merry and Polly's care-until the Children's Protection Society discovers the truth. Single women aren't allowed to adopt, and the sisters are given just five days to find suitable husbands or risk losing their new family and home.

With time running out, Merry and Polly must trust their hearts and find partners who will help them protect the children they love. Can they build the family they've always dreamed of, or will the past repeat itself?

Perfect for readers who love western historical romance, orphan train stories, found family romance, marriage of convenience tales, strong heroine stories, small town romance, and uplifting tales of hope and second chances.

(The two novellas in Orphan Train Brides are expanded from previous inclusion in the Under A Mulberry Moon anthology.)
