When two women stumble upon their ranch, claiming Jericho himself sent for one of them as a mail-order bride, he aims to send them straight back to where they came from.

As Dinah and her sister become entwined in the Coulter family’s life, sparks fly between the enigmatic Jericho and the captivating doctor.

My Thoughts on Healing the Mountain Man’s Heart
Healing the Mountain Man’s Heart is a sweet historical fiction novel that you’re going to love reading and keeping on your shelf. It starts out like you would think. A mail-order bride novel. Only, it’s not the normal one. Because this groom doesn’t want a bride, he didn’t ask for a bride, etc.
Dinah is a doctor who accompanies her sister out to Montana to be a mail-order bride. The sister is supposed to be the bride. But what happens when Dinah starts being attracted to the prospective groom? That is after first impressions and her immediately setting out to save his brother’s life.
Yeap, you start out with some action!
This novel reads super quickly and you’re not going to want to put it down. Plus you’re going to want to keep it on your shelf so you can re-read it later. It is after all book one in a new series!
I do have to say that I adore this author. I’ve read all of her books. I read them as soon as they are released. This is because I know that her books are going to be amazing historical fiction novels!
Have I mentioned that I love sapphires? They’re in my wedding ring! And most of my jewellery features them. So I was very interested in the Montana sapphire mines and though I did know that they were a thing I also had to do more research on them because I was so curious!
I absolutely cannot wait to read the next book in this series!

Sapphires in Montana? Are you sure?
When I was brainstorming ideas for my new series, I knew I wanted the stories to be set on a ranch amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Montana mountains. But I wanted something a little more unusual than that. I know, what could be more special than a ranch in the Rockies?
So I brought the conundrum to some writer friends and asked for help brainstorming. There’s nothing quite so fascinating as a group of writers in full brainstorming mode. Since the series is set during the mining boom in Montana, we discussed the idea of some kind of mine on the ranch, but not gold or silver. Or even copper. The remarkable Sarah Erredge (who writes as S.E. Warren) suggested Sapphires.
That thought immediately grabbed hold of me (especially since the Sapphire is the birthstone for my month of September). But I’d never heard of Sapphires being discovered in Montana.
That seemed impossible… Right?
Until some quick research showed there are three well-known pockets of Sapphires in the state! Rock Creek is one of those locations and is positioned perfectly for where I wanted to set my story—west of Helena and about a half day’s ride from Mullan Road.
The timing of Sapphire discoveries in the state is perfect for my series as well. Early prospectors searching for gold in the gravel of the Missouri River repeatedly discarded the annoying blue pebbles that continually clogged their sluices without much thought to what they may be. It wasn’t discovered that these “pebbles” were Sapphires until 1895 when Ed Coulter forwarded samples of these stones to Tiffany & Co. When Tiffany purchased the lot for $3,750 (approximately $110,300 as of 2018) and declared that the stones were “sapphires of unusual quality,” a small-scale sapphire rush began.
This rush is exactly what the Coulter brothers in the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch series are trying to avoid. That’s why they keep the Sapphire mine on their property secret during this first book in the series, Healing the Mountain Man’s Heart.
I pray you love book 1 in this new series and fall as deeply in love with this ranch in the Rockies as I have, especially with the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch.
Blessings!
