4.7 out of 5 stars 48 ratings
In the rugged mining town of Creede, Colorado, two souls burdened by secrets and pasts find themselves on a path toward redemption and the fragile hope of a new life together.

Anthony Trevain, a man desperate to escape the shadow of his outlaw days, seeks to forge a new beginning as he takes on the responsibility of raising his young sister. He places an ad for a mail-order bride to create a stable home, vowing to keep his criminal history buried deep. But when a figure from his past resurfaces, offering a job that could drag him back into the underworld, Anthony is forced to make a risky choice—one that could shatter the life he’s trying to build.

Rebecca Townsend, fleeing the suffocating constraints of her society-driven mother, leaves Baltimore behind in search of freedom and a fresh start. Arriving in Creede, she quickly realizes the life she imagined is far different from the reality she faces. As she begins to care for her guarded husband, Rebecca struggles to break through the emotional barriers Anthony has erected, sensing that the shadows of his past threaten their fragile future.

As mysterious incidents plague their town, Rebecca and Anthony must confront the dangers that lurk in the shadows. Can they uncover the truth behind the threats before their newfound family is torn apart, or will the secrets they keep drive them back into the darkness?

The Woodworker’s Mail-Order Bride is a gripping tale of love, redemption, and the battle between the past and the future. Join Anthony and Rebecca in this thrilling fourth installment of the Mail-Order Brides of the Southwest series, where intrigue and romance intertwine in the heart of the Old West.

Buy The Woodworker’s Mail-Order Bride to unravel a cunning Wild West plot and fall in love along the way!

    I've read all the Mail Order Bride series from Heidi. It's interesting to see how Heidi entwines previous characters in her stories. I see each book
    improve with excitement and keeping your interest. It's hard to pick a favorite but this is a story that you don't want to stop reading until the end.
    Her writing makes you feel your right there, living the moment too.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2021
    This is a sweet mail order bride story written by Heidi Vanlandingham. The first few intro pages were, to me a little slow, but after that Heidi puts adventure and excitement onto every page. Anthony come to Creed from New York with heavy burdens from childhood and his early years. These memories haunt him. He becomes the guardian of a young sister that her didn’t even know was born and she is a young hellion. At his wits end with his sister and her antics. His best friends, without his knowledge, order a mail order bride to help look after his sister. Rebecca is being forced by her overbearing mother into a terrible, but wealthy man and he attempt to assault her. She accepts the marriage offer from Anthony, but fear forced her to go to Creed with only a telegram announcing her arrival. You will love discovering how they overcome several obstacles and find their happily ever after.

    Rebecca’s mother wants he daughter to marry a relative of Mary Todd Lincoln. He is abusive her mother wants to climb the social ladder. Doesn’t matter what the man is like.

    Rebecca leaves home to save herself. She answers a mail order bride ad and, with very short notice, arrives to wed Anthony. They get off to a rocky start but learn to trust and love each other. Can they make it work?

    The author does an excellent job with the characters and setting. The reader will be turning the pages to see what happens. I will be looking for more books.

    I received an ARC and I voluntarily reviewed.

    Rebecca leaves home to escape a calculating mother who's looking to climb the social ladder. The man she wants her to marry is abusive and desirable only because he's a relative of Mary Todd Lincoln. Rebecca answers a mail order bride ad and, with very short notice, arrives to wed Anthony. Their life together, with a bit of conflict, starts off with little trust but soon grows into a lasting bond to withstand the test of time. I'm looking forward to more from this author!
