Plot Summary of Hunter's Bride
"The first book in Jessica Wulf's Bride Trilogy deals with the middle brother Orion and his intended, Sarah. After meeting by accident, Orion is irrestisibly drawn to the wild and untamed eastern girl who's come west to settle with her fiance, Adam. As Orion's relationship with her grows, Sarah starts to listen to the small voice inside her that's told her for years that there's something out there for her... something better. And she knows that if she ever finds it, she'll find it in Orion's arms."
Meredith Griffin, Resident Scholar

"Before her mother's death, Sarah made a promise to marry her childhood friend, Adam. Now an Army officer stationed at Fort St. Charles, he waits for his fiance to join him.
But when Sarah does arrive, her disagreements with Adam has just begun. Defying her fiance, she goes for a ride alone when her mare gets spooked by a wolf and a half nude man. Orion Beaudine walks into Sarah's life and makes her feel like she has never felt before. Stealing passionate kisses, and caresses, their passion for each other is scandalous. Sarah must make a choice: Captian Adam Rutledge or Orion "Hunter" Beaudine."

Teresa Karam, Resident Scholar
