Selah Hopewell seems to be the only woman in the Virginia colony who has no wish to wed. True, there are too many men and far too few women in James Towne. But Selah already has her hands full assisting her father in the family's shop. And now she is in charge of an incoming ship of tobacco brides who must be looked after as they sort through their many suitors.
Xander Renick is perhaps the most eligible tobacco lord in the settlement. His lands are vast, his crops are prized, and his position as a mediator between the colonists and the powerful Powhatan nation surrounding them makes him indispensable. But Xander is already wedded to his business and still grieves the loss of his wife, daughter of the Powhatan chief.
Can two fiercely independent people find happiness and fulfillment on their own? Or will they discover that what they've been missing in life has been right in front of them all along?

Laura Frantz cannot write a bad book. Okay, so that’s just my opinion, of course.

I’ve never read a book by her that I haven’t just fallen in love with.

Tidewater Bride was beautiful, romantic–with some glorious slow-burn–and captivating to the very core.

I have no doubt that Frantz researches and pays attention to deal. And, for that, I am forever thankful.

An amazing story–this one was a treat for anyone who loves clean, historical fiction.
