Author's Note & Sneak Peak Book #4
Thank you so much for joining me on this journey. I am so excited to merge two worlds into one. Historical fiction and supernaturals. I hope that you enjoyed the blending and our sneak peak into the supernatural world. Books 4 & 5 will still focus on the traditional western feel but will definitely include some supernatural elements. All of this leads me to my next series which will be solely in the supernatural world.
Following Book 5, I will be putting together a collection of short stories called “Friends of the Boarding House Brides”. This will feature several of the supporting characters from each of the five Boarding House Brides books.
Be sure to check out my social group on the blue app with an f at OKLACLSYLDY BOOKS for updates on my books. I hope to see you there.
The story of Emily and Joseph has come to an end, but what of Charlotte and Cole? Here is a sneak peak at their book, which begins next week, May 1st.

Prologue1863Emily POVI stared wide eyed as my Ma continued to ramble through her tears. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. There was no way I was going!“I just can’t worry about you getting your heart broken. I know it’s been six months, but I just can’t seem to move forward. Your Pa was my world, Em. Your sisters are grown and married and I can’t do anything to protect them from this type of tragedy in their lives. But I will protect you. Now, I want you to go and pack your things. Although, you won’t really need them at the convent,” she told me.“Ma, I don’t want to go. I know that Pa’s death was hard on you, but please don’t make me do this. I can still serve God as a wife and mother,” I begged her.At seventeen, I dreamed of a husband of my own. Someone who would love me as dearly as my Pa loved my Ma, before the influenza that took his life a little over six months ago. I just couldn’t understand why she all of a sudden wanted to send me away. My sisters were both happil

Chapter 11866Joseph POVSitting here staring at my hand waiting for the men at the table to place their bets is just another boring moment in my life. I used to find excitement in the game. The thrill of anticipation, wondering if my hand would be the one to beat. But today, my mind wasn’t on the game. It was on the auburn-haired beauty that I had met just hours ago.Emily.Even her name stirred my soul. Her beauty stole my breath away. She…“Hey! Are you gonna bid?” came the impatient voice of one of the men at the table, effectively pulling me out of my musings.I glanced around the table. The dealer was to my left, he probably was holding two pair. That had been his hand for most of the last hour. Next to him sat a young buck, who was so arrogant and believed he couldn’t lose this hand. He was still in. Ok, youngin’ we’ll see in just a minute.I made my way around the table, looking at each man. Watching each face, determining the confidence or lack thereof. But the man to my rig

When Joseph came to the boarding house the other day, I was immediately taken with him. He was tall and broad; I could tell that whatever he did for a living, took physical effort. He stood well over six feet tall, and if I had to guess, he was at least six feet four inches because I was taller than most women I knew. I was close to five feet eight inches. He was a good height; I could imagine myself leaning on his upper arm or laying my head on his shoulder. At first glance, some would say he was a backwoods heathen, due to his long hair and beard. But for me, it lent an air of mystery to him. His hazel eyes held a depth that I couldn’t wait to uncover. He had confidence unlike many of the men who I had previously met. He came to the boarding house because he had seen the advertisement that Mrs. Sheffield had placed in several newspapers across the country. Charlotte and I were watching from the stairway when he arrived. We overheard him introduce himself to Mrs. Sheffield. As he sp

Joseph POVOh Em! What a firecracker! I thought to myself as I walked away from the house. She thought that I wouldn’t officially asked her. My mum would tan my hide for that one too! No, I had plans but I needed to get a good estimate of her finger size so I can get the right ring from the mercantile. It was a great reason to hold her hand.I whistled all the way back to the hotel. As I made my way inside, I ran into Cole. “Hey there, Cole. How are things going’?”“Fine. Fine. Say, have you seen this advertisement?” he asked me, holding out a piece of newsprint.I took it from him and glanced down at it, realizing it was the same advertisement that had taken me to the boarding house. I nodded and answered, “Yes. In fact, there are still two young lasses without a husband. Ye can’t have me Emily, though.”He chuckled, “No, I wouldn’t dare. You are a formidable man. You could probably

Emily POVWhen Joseph proposed to me, I was on cloud nine. It was everything I had hoped it would be. His words were sincere and I knew in my heart, he felt everything he was saying just as deeply. When I looked at the ring as he was explaining it’s meaning to me, I wanted to cry. Such deep meaning in a band of silver. But I loved it.And I agreed with every word he said. We were starting new. We were essentially building a new foundation, our family. Hopefully, our marriage and the foundation we create would be an example for our children to follow. A foundation that our children would one day be able to depend on and to trust.After he left, I said goodnight to the girls and made my way upstairs. Rounding the top of staircase, I saw Mrs. Sheffield standing just outside her bedroom door. She was staring out the window, looking up at the night sky.“Mrs. Sheffield?” I softly called out to her, not wanting to startle her.

Joseph POVThe morning after our wedding, I woke early. I lay in the dark on my side and watched Emily sleep. Bathed in the moonlight that was coming through the window, she was everything I wanted and everything I had ever hoped for in a wife. She was strong, had a sharp mind and quick wit. She was just tall enough for me, her head could easily rest on my shoulder.I thought back over our wedding and smiled. When she walked into the parlor at the vicar’s house, I was astounded by her beauty. The sky-blue color of her dress matched so well with her hazel eyes and auburn hair. She was a vision. All I could think about the rest of the afternoon and early evening was how much I wanted to remove that dress from her shapely form.When it came time to remove her dress, I was happy to know she wasn’t wearing a corset. The dress did a fine enough job of holding her breasts up and she had a trim waist. In my opinion,

Emily POVThe trip from St. Louis to Fort Pierre was enjoyable. Joseph and I spent our days getting to know one another, walking the deck, and watching the scenery as the steam ship made its way up the river. The morning we arrived at Fort Pierre; it was raining. Thankfully, by the time we were ready to leave the fort, the sun had begun to shine.I was adamant about walking as much as possible. I must say, that I didn’t realize how rough the terrain would be and so, when Joseph finally said that I had to ride on the cart because of the mud, I was never more grateful for anything in my life. I, of course, would never tell him that.The terrain leveled out slightly and Joseph decided that he wanted to push the horses so that we could make it to the creek before dark. With Thomas and I both riding the cart and Joseph on Apollo, we were able to travel much more quickly. I was happily surprised that the mule, Blaze, kep

“That cunny’s mine,” he growled out and before I could respond, he was sucking and licking my folds as if he were a dying man enjoying his last meal. He wrapped his left arm around my thigh, and placed his hand on my stomach, holding me in place. I think he was afraid I was going to flee. But with the pleasure he was giving me, why would I run? This is what I had wanted for the last two days.With his free hand, he spread my other leg to the side, further opening me up to his attentions.“Oh, I love this cunny,” he moaned, then I felt his breath as he lightly blew air on my moistened mound. I felt him slide his finger between my folders, I was so wet that it was no trouble for him.“Oh, my god, Joseph! Yes. Do that again!” I mewled and threw my head back.I gripped the bedding as his fingers rubbed my inner walls. We had been married less than a week, but he
