The Sheriff’s Mail Order Bride series pairs nine frontier lawmen with brides ordered through the mail. Published in 2021, each “A Bride for…” book names the sheriff who is looking for a wife: McKenzie, Oliver, Alonzo, Hawk, Richard, Devlin, Matthew, Weston, and Dun.
The sheriff-bride combination plays on the contrast between a man’s public authority and his private vulnerability. These are men who can face down outlaws but are unsure how to handle a wife, which creates both humor and genuine romantic tension.
