      Mail Order Bride: Charles & Ramona & The Wolves Of The Forest

      (A Clean Western Historical Romance)

      By

      Synopsis: Mail Order Bride: Charles & Ramona & The Wolves Of The Forest, is about a high society woman in NYC who gets sent off to Oregon to be the bride of a lonely outpost operator. He is as stunned by her beauty when she gets off the train, as she is by the wilderness surrounding his cabin and home. She doesn’t know how to make a fire or even sweep the floor and her many trunks of fine clothing fill up his small cabin. Amidst the howls of wolves surrounding them in the darkness of the forest, both will have to decide if they can ever make a match.

      The wolves howling woke Charles from a deep slumber. Wolves howled. It was their nature. Charles would have liked to roll over and throw his arm around his wife, comfort her, and fall back asleep. It was his nature.

      Unfortunately, the other side of his bed was smooth, the heavy quilt still pulled up, empty.

      The wolves howling weren’t a terrible noise. There was a time — when Charles had first hacked the outpost out of the forest around it — that the howling frightened him. He thought it meant the wolves were coming for him.

      How dare he set up his livelihood on their precious land? Inanely, he’d barred the door, worried for the horses in the small barn and then sat by the fire with his rifle across the knees, trying to estimate how close the pack was.

      Now, he thought maybe the wolves howled because they were lonely. Many a night, he’d listened to one lone animal calling out and others answering it. The forest was big — a place that Charles both loved and respected. The solitary wolf had to know his pack was out there, waiting for him, searching for him.

      Charles sometimes wished that he could simply open the door and howl out into the world, looking for companionship. Why couldn’t someone share his existence out here in the wild, listening to the wolves call to one another?

      He doubted such a woman existed.

      Though he knew it was wicked and useless, he sometimes envied the families who regularly stopped by the outpost for supplies, things they couldn’t grow or cut out of the forest. One couple — Lars and Joann — were particularly close.

      Lars had the blond hair and blue eyes of his parentage while Joann was smaller and darker. They made their living deep in the forest, trapping and trading furs. They often paid him with the finest pelts he’d ever felt.

      The couple understood about the forest, held it in the same esteem that Charles did. Joann recognized and used the many plants of the region and could season a meal or make a poultice equally well. Lars was an
