Westward Wings is a historical Western romance about taking chances to get what one loves. The characters are detailed, without involving violence.
Tessa refused to follow her family plans to be a socialite as the suitors are all pompous suits with no substance. Feeling trapped, she approached her "crazy aunt" for her chance at freedom... become a mail order bride to Dean Samuels, a widower, rancher and father of a child in Montana... He doubted she'll stay as she's too good for this dusty ranch. She doubted he'll want her due to her somewhat lack of domestic skills and she can never take place of his dead wife. Can they grow to love each other? And what will happen when her father found her?
The pressure to flee was documented in great detail and the life on the ranch was nicely described as well. She wanted to write and life on a ranch is an adventure. He did look for a mother for his child but he didn't expect this learned lady who arrived with almost no attitude and minimal domestic skills, but very willing to learn. Opposites do attract, and this is one of the better (best?) mail order bride stories out there, where it also included self-discovery in addition to just love.
