Destiny ~ How does a Single Brother secure the bride of his heart when it’s not his choice to make?
Duty ~ How does a Single Sister resist a charmer like Brother Nicholas Blum when she’s pledged her life to duty?
Restless charmer Nicholas Blum, Jacob’s oldest son, wants nothing more than to marry the secret sweetheart of his youth. But the village Elders won’t let him marry, period; Moravian men must be established before they can wed. He’s failed in four trades so far, so they send him away to learn a new one–as a merchant’s assistant.
There, Nicholas is plagued by tiny Abbigail Till, a smart, self-confident taskmaster and the merchant’s spinster daughter. But sparks fly in all directions after the Elders pick Nicholas’s younger brother to marry the woman he left behind.
What’s a man to do? Nicholas hurries home, leaving Abbigail to deal with a theft in the store–and the theft of her own heart…
REVIEWS
Judith Stanton has taken the standard ingredients for a great romance — a delectable scamp of a hero and a heroine as pure and true as morning — and somehow combined them with both a radiant innocence and finger-singing sensuality to create a deliciously fresh tale. Beautifully written, sweetly funny, wickedly sexy, and deeply satisfying.

Ms. Stanton has penned an exceptional, inviting romance with lovable characters and a plot that twists and turns almost as much as a squirming spinster whose heart is caught off guard by loyalty and love. His Stolen Bride will steal your heart. (read complete review)
