A Bride for Seamus Linda Shenton Matchett

Can two people set aside presumptions, prejudices, and pain to find love?




When her father dies after a lengthy illness, Madeline Winthrop is horrified to discover his will bequeaths their home to his business partner, a cruel and dishonest man, leaving her destitute. With no job or marriage prospects, she seeks help from her pastor who suggests she considers becoming a mail order bride. There's just one catch. She's to marry the man by proxy before ever meeting him.




After three mail order brides refuse to stay and marry Seamus Fitzpatrick because of his brother's mental issues and two rambunctious children, Seamus decides a proxy marriage is the only way he's going to secure a wife. When the Boston-bred socialite arrives with few practical skills, he wonders if he made the biggest mistake of his life.
