Maeve and the Shivaree — Debra Samms

Maeve and the Shivaree is the fourth book in the Sawyerville Mail Order Bride series. It is a clean and wholesome western romance between Maeve Harrison and Red Lyon set on the western frontier in the late 1800s.

Maeve traveled by clipper ship around Cape Horn to find a better life and a husband in Sawyerville, Oregon. In the East, an ugly girl like her had no hope of marriage. Beyond her crooked features, lies a special heart looking for just the right man. She wants a man who won't argue with her and a man who will listen to her advice and do things her way.

Red is a tall ruggedly handsome logger who needs a woman who won't quit when life gets tough. He needs a real partner, not just a pretty doll to dress up his parlor.

Red's friends think he could have done better for himself than to marry Maeve. They arrange a shivaree, which in the end tests Red's and Maeve's love and devotion to one another.

Can their love survive with tests that come during and after the tricks played by his friends? Will Maeve and Red trust one another and allow their love and commitment to survive?

Join in the fun as the story of Maeve and Red plays out in this latest edition of the Sawyerville brides story.
