      Jilted In England & Sent To The Rude Rancher In South Dakota: A Mail Order Bride Romance

      By

      Doreen Milstead

      Copyright 2016 The Sweet Romance Network Presents…

      Synopsis: Jilted by her beau, an English woman is sent by her aunt to become the mail order bride of a rancher in South Dakota. He ignores her and she is distraught, unhappy, and sick of traveling the long way from England to a man who apparently dislikes her; and she has no idea why.

      It had been raining for three days. Rain when you were traveling across the Atlantic onboard a ship was not fun. Alice Dickens had grown sick of staying in her stateroom, sick of the lounge and even sicker of her company. She was traveling from Liverpool to New York with her Great Aunt Rose. The old woman was a plotter and apparently now dabbled in matchmaking. She had been the one who had conspired with her mother to get Alice out of England.

      Alice couldn’t shake her anger as she left behind the riches and extravagant lifestyle she had been raised in and traded it for cattle and hay. The very thought of how her world had come crumbing down around her left her cold and utterly lost.

      The Dickens fortune was in a dire state. Her father had a dangerous addiction that the family had not discovered until it was too late. He was a gambler and not the kind who calls it a night after he’d lost a few pounds. No, he lost their entire savings, their possessions, and finally their home and the land it stood upon. Alice didn’t feel like she was leaving England, she felt like she was being driven away by shame.

      When word got out that the Dickens family was penniless, not only were they the laughing stock of the county, but also everyone they had called a friend turned their back. People who had dined at their table, danced in their halls and stayed for a weekend here and there now pretended they didn’t know them.

      Funny, Alice thought, how cheery they had been when we were throwing extravagant celebrations, paying their tabs at elegant restaurants, or treating neighbors to an evening at the theater. If this entire ordeal had taught her anything it was that trust was not something she would easily surrender again.

      Alice was strong and could take all their vile behavior, but she couldn’t handle the betrayal Robert had given her. They had been promised to each other for three years and her wedding was just months away when he turned on her. He broke off their engagement and acted as if she knew of her father’s devious behavior.

      You played the part, didn’t you? he had spat one night as he looked disgusted and took back his grandmother’s two karat engagement ring.

      That’s when Alice allowed the ice to freeze over her heart and listened to her great aunt’s ridiculous plan. She filled Alice’s head with ideas of America and a new start. So, Alice swallowed her pride, packed her things and boarded a ship headed far from the land she called home. Her father couldn’t look her in the eye when she left and her mother wept bitterly.

      She hugged her mother, kissed her father on the cheek, held her head high and walked out. She didn’t cry when she got into the carriage with Aunt Rose. She didn’t cry when she checked her luggage or boarded the ship. But once she
