Holiday Hope: Sweet Historical Holiday Romance (Holiday Express Book 1)

She Was Promised to One Brother… But Destined for Another
After losing her parents, Cora Lee Schuster has nowhere left to call home—until a marriage advertisement draws her west to the newly founded town of Holiday, Oregon. Determined to build a future, she arrives ready to wed the man who promised her a new beginning. Instead, she’s met by her future father-in-law… and the unsettling realization that the groom-to-be has no intention of claiming his bride.

Jace Coleman has spent his life chasing the whistle of trains and the promise of adventure along the rails. As engineer of the Holiday Express and its gleaming new engine, Hope, he’s content with the simple rhythm of work, family, and the growing town he loves. But when a mail-order bride meant for his brother arrives at the Coleman ranch, Jace begins to suspect his matchmaking father may have meddled once too often.

The longer Cora Lee stays, the more impossible it becomes for Jace to ignore the feelings growing between them. Yet falling for his brother’s intended bride could cost them both more than their hearts.

Filled with Christmas charm, tender romance, and the promise of new beginnings, Holiday Hope is the first book in the Holiday Express series—a heartwarming generational saga where love, faith, and family are carried from one generation to the next.
