Last Chance Brides
A Chance for Elinor
With hardly a penny to her name, actress and seamstress Elinor Simmons leaves Yorkshire, England, and heads to Last Chance, Nebraska, to meet up with her childhood friend, Mariah. Ezra David, the man who meets her in town and takes her to her friend, is so kind and shy and handsome, it's too bad that she has sworn off men forever. And she has moved so often, it's unlikely she will stay here for too long. It would take some magic tricks to convince her to stay anywhere, and as an amateur magician, she knows most of the tricks in the book.
As Ezra David Meir, an immigrant from Romania, works as a farmhand for Clinton Tyree in Last Chance, Nebraska, he searches for his brother, Reuven, who might be the wanted highway bandit in the area. Not knowing the language well in his new country, he is surprised to meet a patient and dangerously beautiful woman, who is also a friend to his employer's wife, who offers to teach him English. But Elinor may have moved more often than Ezra David has. and her vagabond heart may be harder to tame than he anticipated.
