A Journey for Sallie (The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride #19)

After the death of her beloved husband in the war between the states, Sallie Tenney decides to join her brother and his family on their journey west to Oregon. Upon arriving in Missouri for the trip, Sallie is shocked to learn she cannot travel as a single, albeit widowed, woman. She must marry to join the wagon train.

Without much choice, she agrees to marry fur trader Michael Schmidt on the promise that he will grant her an annulment as soon as they arrive in Oregon. It’s only after they say “I do” that Peter Cardinal arrives for the expedition and catches Sallie’s eye.

But when her new husband Michael is thrown from his horse and Sallie must defend the wagon and supplies from thieves, she realizes this six-month journey won’t be anything like she expected. Especially when Peter is so close and they have a long way still to go.
