About this audiobook

At the turn of the 20th century, Elli Korpela boarded The Baltic as a mail-order bride. But the threat she thought she was escaping somehow followed her to America . . .

Escaping a forced engagement, Elli sought refuge in an arranged, mail-order marriage. Her betrothed is a Texan named Nathan White. As she glimpses her future husband and his darling niece at the train station, she instantly knows her risk will prove the best decision she's ever made.

Nathan White never took an interest in marriage until he became the guardian of four-year-old Hannah. He's arranged a mail-order wife to love and care for his orphaned niece. But his mind changes when he first sees the beautiful Elli Korpela.

After a glorious wedding ceremony in the gardens of Butterfly Palace - the grandest estate Elli's ever seen - a peaceful beginning takes a disquieting turn. An intruder brutally attacks Elli. Nathan intervenes, but the culprit escapes unidentified, leaving Elli to face two chilling possibilities: Either the attack was arranged by strike workers in Nathan's employ or her shadowy past followed her across the sea.

As the danger mounts, Elli and Nathan must face their enemy together, fighting for their newfound marriage - and for their lives.

    The narrator made the female lead sound like she was Asian when she is supposed to be finish. The story seemed written for a child. Not my thing.

    I recommend this book to anyone looking for a clean, sweet, easy and old romance. The setting isn't too old as there are mentions of cars, lamps and washing machines. However, if you're looking for a deep intellectual read, this is not it.

    This was my first audiobook and I loved it!!! At first I found the child's voice funny but after I had adjusted, I couldn't help but love the story. The story line of a mail order bride is one I've never read of before and though it's not the best thing to do nowadays, I think if you're a fan of novels where it's marriage of convenience and can relate to being a woman (or man) who's in need of feeling safe, then you'll like this book. I love the fact that it's sweet, light and relatively straightforward. Though there are some issues affecting Nathan and Elli's love affair, the author doesn't draw them out for the sake of creating "drama".
