Aiming for Love

by Mary Connealy

Book 1 of the Brides of Hope Mountain series

304 pages · First published 2019

Josephine Nordegren and her two sisters have grown up nearly isolated in the Colorado mountains, taught that the outside world is dangerous and responsible for their parents’ deaths. Jo’s curiosity overwhelms those warnings when rancher David Warden brings cattle near their hidden home and his wounded father soon needs shelter only the sisters can provide. Helping the strangers exposes the women to a world they barely understand while revealing how incomplete their inherited fears may be. Mary Connealy opens the Brides of Hope Mountain series with frontier danger, faith, humor, and a heroine whose extraordinary archery skills are easier to manage than her fascination with new people.
