The Substitute Bride series takes the mail-order bride concept and adds a twist: in each of the six books, the woman who shows up is not the one the groom was expecting. Published in 2023-2024 with each book named “Miss” followed by the heroine’s surname, the series explores what happens when a marriage arrangement starts with an unexpected exchange.
The substitution creates instant drama in each story. The groom must adjust his expectations, the bride must explain her situation, and both must decide whether to proceed with a marriage built on a different foundation than planned. It is a proven romance setup that Tanner applies across six variations.
