About the book

Melvin Hitchcock of the 'Hitching Post Mail-Order Bride Catalog' isn't dishonest -- not exactly. If he tweaks his clients' applications a bit, it's because he's looking out for their best interests. This charming bouquet of novellas introduces four Hitching Post prospects in the year 1870, each one eager for second chances and hungry for happiness. Year in, year out, they'll learn that love often comes in unexpected packages.
