Mistletoe marriage of convenience!

When Jake Bridges suddenly finds himself the guardian of his orphaned niece, he knows he needs a wife.  What did a stock tender at a pony express station know about raising little girls?  A marriage of convenience to the child's caretaker is the most practical solution.

A mail-order marriage seems like Leah Hollister's last chance to know the simple joys of family life.  But then she receives word that her would-be groom is dead. Now Jake proposes she marry him. She knows love isn't necessary. Yet the more she learns of sweet Molly's kind-hearted uncle, the more she dreams of a true partnership with the man who has unexpectedly captured her heart.

This Texan had no intention of becoming a groom…

Until he found out he had a year to find a bride–or risk losing the family ranch. Any of the four mail–order brides recently arrived in Granite, Texas, would make a good wife. So why can't Levi Westland stop thinking about the one who refuses to have him? The marriage of convenience Levi offers isn't enough to persuade Millie Hamilton. Truth is, it's no longer enough for Levi, either….

Millie just needed a place to escape to. Now that she's paid Levi back his traveling expenses, she can forge her own way. If he knew the truth about her past, Levi's admiration would vanish. But the only thing harder than risking her heart may be watching Levi marry anyone but her.

A match made by mail!

Needing a home and a husband to help her raise her orphaned nephews, Bella Wilson travels to Wyoming in response to a mail–order bride ad. But when she arrives, she discovers Pony Express rider Philip Young didn't place the ad. With her groom–to–be insisting he's not looking for a wife, Bella must convince him to marry her for the sake of the children. 

Philip never planned to marry, but he can't possibly turn away a woman in distress and allow her nephews to end up in an orphanage as he once had. A marriage of convenience is the perfect solution. But when he slowly discovers that family life may be what he's been looking for all along, can he convince Bella to give love a chance?

Conveniently wed. 

Pony Express manager Clayton Young arrives for his new assignment at a Wyoming ranch just in time to save Maggie Fillmore's ailing baby. The lovely young widow is struggling to care for a ranch, her sister and a newborn, and Clayton plans to pursue medicine – not marriage. Yet Maggie's dire situation spurs him to offer a match of convenience… 

Maggie hoped never to rely on any man again, even one as kind as Clayton. But with her late husband's greedy cousin trying to take away her ranch, she has little choice. And though Maggie worries her union with Clayton might not be enough to save her ranch, she soon sees it could be just what her heart needs.
