Mail Order Mummy

By Christine Johnson

A Mother by Christmas 

Nursing a broken heart, Amanda Porter had answered a frontier mail-order bride ad placed by Garrett Decker's children–only to find the groom-to-be didn't want a wife. The widowed bachelor she hoped to marry does need a housekeeper, though, and taking the job is Amanda's only option. But his adorable children are determined she'll be their mother by Christmas  

His wife's betrayal and tragic death demolished Garrett's life. Now he can't even look at another woman, let alone marry Amanda, who resembles his first love. Even if she does make his house feel like a home, filling it again with laughter and his children's smiles. But with his daughter convinced Amanda is the perfect mother, will Garrett realize she's also his perfect match?

Christine Johnson

A small-town Michigan girl, Christine Johnson has lived in every corner of the state's Lower Peninsula. After trying her hand at music and art, she returned to her first love-story. She holds degrees in English and library studies and works part-time as a librarian. She feels blessed to write and doubly blessed that two of her manuscripts were finalists for Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award. The crowning thrill came when Steeple Hill accepted her debut novel, Soaring Home, for publication. When not at the computer keyboard, she loves to hike, kayak and explore God's majestic creation. She participates in her church's healing prayer ministry and has experienced firsthand the power of prayer. These days, she and her husband, a Great Lakes ship pilot, split their time between northern Michigan and the Florida Keys. Christine loves to hear from readers via her email: [e-mail]
