The Rescue Me - Mail-Order Brides series is one of Margaret Tanner’s larger collections at 25 books, all published in 2023. Each book carries a single female name (Belle, Lauren, Beatrice, Lila, and so on) and follows a woman who needs saving and finds it through a frontier marriage arrangement.

The “rescue” framing adds urgency to the standard mail-order bride premise. These are women fleeing real threats who see marriage to a stranger as their best option for survival. The men they marry become both husbands and protectors, creating romances grounded in gratitude, trust, and eventually love.
