Katie, Bride of Virginia, is tenth in the unprecedented 50-book American Mail-Order Brides series. A bride with secrets. A groom with a past. A love tested by lies." When a factory fire leaves Katie Maverick jobless and desperate, she makes a bold choice-become a mail-order bride. An unexpected marriage offer from vineyard owner Daniel O'Malley seems like the answer to her prayers. But there's a catch: Daniel didn't place the ad. His business partner did, hoping a wife might silence the town's whispers that Daniel was responsible for his first wife's mysterious death. Reluctantly, Daniel agrees to the arrangement, thinking Katie might help him restore order in his life and put an end to the malicious rumors. But he's not prepared for the vibrant woman who brightens his lonely world and begins to break through the barriers around his heart. Yet as strange acts of vandalism threaten his vineyard, Daniel begins to question whether Katie's arrival is pure chance-or something more sinister. Could this sweet, innocent bride be hiding dangerous secrets? And is it possible she's connected to the tragedy that haunts his past? In a world where trust is fragile, Daniel must uncover the truth before his vineyard-and his heart-are destroyed.
