About this audiobook
Unemployed mill worker Zoe Hart jumps at the opportunity to emigrate to British Columbia in 1863 to find a better life and be reunited with her brother, who fled from home after being accused of a crime.
Pastor to miners in the mountains, Abe Merivale discovers an abandoned baby during a routine visit to Victoria and joins efforts with Zoe, one of the newly arrived bride-ship women, to care for the infant. While there, he's devastated by the news from his fiancee in England that she's marrying another man.
With mounting pressure to find the baby a home, Zoe accepts a proposal from a miner of questionable character after he promises to help her locate her brother. Intent on protecting Zoe and frustrated by his failed engagement, Abe offers his own hand as groom. After a hasty wedding, they soon realize their marriage of convenience is not so convenient after all.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the best book in the Bride Ships series! I won't say much because I don't want to spoil it. This story is much more that boy meets girl and contains the rich texture of the human experience during a marriage of convenience. As a fellow author, I marveled at Hedlund's technique. Honestly, you won't be able to put it down.
