Can a sister who’s lost her voice find harmony with the right man?
Singing with her sisters was Wren’s refuge until they tried to flee their sadistic troupe manager, who retaliated by choking her until he crushed her voice. She only survived because a huge Welshman, with a personality as fiery as his red hair, taught her how to fight. She’s dreamed of sharing a future with him—if she can alter his misconceptions about both of them.
Can she convince him they belong together, or is she destined to a silent life alone?
Working with his brothers to raise their younger sister was Griffin Llewellyn’s purpose until all three of his siblings got married in the space of a month, leaving him alone to safeguard the woman he’s dreamed of marrying. But he can’t because she’s lived a life of oppression, only asked for one thing—his help, and he’s vowed to protect her from every threat, including himself.
Can he save her from his temper and the violence that first fractured his family, or will he be her ultimate downfall?
Perfect for readers who love:
- Western historical romance with a dash of mystery and a heap of adventure
- Opposites attract (he's Welsh; she's Irish Cree)
- Found / chosen family (the Llewellyns, the Songbird Sisters, the Peregrines, and the Treloars)
- Grumpy / sunshine pairings (he's the grumpy one)
- Close proximity in small towns and wilderness settings
- Redemption for lost souls who are confronted by secrets and lies
- Second chances at love
- Emotionally intense, slow-burn romance
A note about story connections:
- A Bride for Griffin is the third book in the Songbird Junction Trilogy. It can be read standalone, but the three books contain an overarching plotline about the Songbird Sisters' troupe manager, Ulysses T. Stone.
- The story includes guest appearances from characters (such as reader-favorite Grandpa Gus Peregrine) featured in my two Noelle, Colorado, Christmas stories: The Calling Birds (set in 1876) and Robyn: A Christmas Bride (set in 1877).

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -
I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and what a way to end. Wren and Griffin had come a long way. With everything that was thrown at them, including kidnapping, cold weather, long rides on horses, learning to trust strangers, and a growing family, the truth of their feelings for each other came out. I loved that Griffin had wanted to protect Wren while teaching her how to defend herself. He learned to play a mandolin for her. Wren finally realized that he misunderstood her in the past, and she gladly corrected that. The supporting characters had me smiling a lot, and it was wonderful to see how they all interconnected. A wonderful story.
I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.
