Elof's Mission — Linda K. Hubalek

Elof falls in love with the widow and child, but he needs a job and home before he can offer them anything.

Elof Lundahl, a former Fort Ellis soldier and friend of Nolan and Holly Clancy, delivers a grave marker to a Montana cemetery for Holly's father's grave. After this task, he plans to travel to Kansas to start a new life near his friends.

Linnea Meyer, a Swedish mail-order bride, is at the same cemetery burying her husband -- of eight days. Now homeless, Linnea and Jamie, her six-year-old stepson, accept Elof's offer to travel with him to Kansas.

Elof falls in love with the widow and child, but he needs a job and home before he can offer them anything. Then Jamie's grandparents arrive unannounced, changing all three of their lives.

Elof's Mission is a stand-alone sweet historical romance set in 1886, but you'll want to read the whole series to enjoy the stories of the Clear Creek, Kansas community. This story was originally published in the Montana Sky Kindle World, and has been updated.
