Hunt for a Bride — Jeff R. Spalsbury

In his third book of the Hunt series, Spalsbury brings to life a resilient woman's bravery and resolve as she seeks a new life in the American West. Kay Cannon is a mail-order bride journeying to Elk Forks, Montana, where her husband-to-be awaits. But she is not alone. Two men watch her every move, and escape calls for courage and cunning.

Fate places Doctor Whitfield on Kay's train heading west. He's returning to Elk Forks after advancing his medical skills. He and his brother hope to help the victims of a Blackfoot massacre by releasing their spirits to the Great Sand Hills. But this peaceful mission runs headlong into deadly resistance.

Brian Buckles, the new sheriff of Elk Forks, faces death alone as he watches his future gallop toward him-five outlaws who want to break their partner out of jail. If he survives, a woman gambler is headed his way to kill the lawman who killed her brother.

Fate brings these pioneers together in a well-researched tale that combines danger and dreams of a better tomorrow. "Hunt for a Bride" delivers cowboys, Indians, gunfights, and more. But it also digs deeper, fearlessly exploring the depths of the pioneer heart.
