The Postmistress

In 1880s Tombstone, one sprawling ranch family is about to change — one bride at a time.

Tarragon Archer loves the quiet order of the Tombstone post office — the neat rows of little wooden boxes, the bell over the door, a place for every letter and every letter in its place. With the postmaster away, she's finally running things her way, and she couldn't be happier.

Then a string of letters addressed to a woman named Felicia Lowry begins to arrive — letters with no one to claim them and a story between the lines that Tarra can't stop wondering about. And Matthew Burns, the newcomer who keeps turning up at her counter, seems somehow tangled in the mystery.

As the town buzzes with talk of a mayoral race and her younger sister's dreams of real journalism, Tarra discovers that even the most carefully sorted life has room for the one thing you can't file away — the unexpected.

Meanwhile, trouble is brewing in Tombstone that goes well beyond the post office — and for the first time, Beau Archer and Helen Allen find themselves on the same side of a fight.
