Summary

There is no telling where love will lead you.

For Carl Hennigan, Iron Creek is more than just a town—it is a chance.

His chance to start over. To live a life of his own. To teach and do what makes his heart happy.

His father might think him a fool, but the last thing Carl wants is to follow through with an engagement to a woman he has only spent a handful of minutes with.

And so, he walks away.

It is a decision his father assures him that he will come to regret, but as Carl settles in Iron Creek, he can’t help thinking that his new life wants for nothing—except perhaps somebody to share it with.

And this time it will be someone of his choosing.

Just as Carl is about to take the chance and advertise for a wife, he finds another listing from a young woman in search of a husband.

Her replies to his letters intrigue him, as does the fact that she keeps her full identity hidden.

But could there be more connecting them than Carl realizes?

The last thing Caroline Calder expected when she advertised for a husband was a response from the man who ran out on her last engagement!

As Carl writes to her, it comes as a surprise when they begin to form a true attachment to each other.

But when he expresses his wish to meet her, Caroline is hesitant to agree.

Because what will happen when Carl discovers the woman he is courting is the same one he once rejected?

The Teacher’s Mail Order Mistake is a heartwarming story of fate and true love. Will Caroline find a way to convince Carl to give her another chance? Or is she about to be rejected by the same man for a second time?

To see where their charming story leads, scroll up and click “Add to Cart” right now. Love can often surprise you.

History repeats

For some reason Carl's father is not only persistent in trying to get him involved with the family business when he wants nothing more than to become a teacher, but he also wants him to marry his potential business partner's daughter Caroline, someone he has never met. Their parents force them to meet at a social event, and although they get on very well, they both claim camaraderie with the fact that they have no intentions of entering a forced marriage and part ways. This causes great friction between all families involved, and Carl breaks away from his family to follow his chosen career in another town. Carline's Father blames her for the relationship not working out and is frozen out of the family. Becoming frustrated with her hostile home environment, she posts an ad for a husband, hoping that marriage can bring her a better life. However unexpectedly, Carl is one of the men that responds to her ad.

This is kind of a second chance romance, but I wasn't a fan of the way Carl reacted when he found out who he was writing to, especially as he had already concluded who she was.
