The Rejected Mail-Order Brides series flips the usual bride story: these 11 women arrive only to be turned away by the men who sent for them. Published in 2024, each title pairs a heroine’s name with a phrase describing her situation: Holly’s Broken Dream, Alyssa’s Desperate Plan, Nora’s Surprise Blessing.
Rejection on the frontier was a serious problem for a woman who had traveled far from home to meet a stranger. Tanner turns this setback into a setup for romance, as each rejected bride discovers that the man who refused her was not the one she was meant to find after all.
