MELODY
By: Caroline Clemmons
The Plot:
After the death of her grandmother,
Melody Fraser must quickly leave what
has been her home in South Carolina.
There are those who think she murdered
her Nana Fraser. She‟s innocent but
there‟s talk about arrest and prosecution.
To escape, this Southern belle agrees to
become a mail-order bride in Montana.
Nicholas “Nick” Walker is a doctor
from Gettysburg who buys a medical
practice in Montana Territory. He wants a
well-organized wife who will be a compe-
tent nurse who can assist him with opera-
tions and care for patients. What will it take to teach Nick
that—although she isn’t what he expected—Melody is ex-
actly what he needs?
An Excerpt
Now that the stage had stopped, the crisp air was free of
dust. A light breeze fanned her face. She hoped her groom was
on hand to meet her.
Her stomach heaved and she feared she‟d throw up
from nerves. The church spire reminded her she‟d soon be get-
ting married—unless he‟d changed his mind. After sending her
all that money, she didn‟t believe that would happen.
A strong baritone asked, “Miss Fraser?”
She turned and locked gazes with a smiling, handsome
man. “Yes, are you Dr. Walker?” His appearance shouldn‟t mat-
ter, but she was glad he was nice looking.
“That‟s correct, I‟m Nick Walker. The minister is waiting
for us. I hope you‟ll agree to wed right away.” He picked up her
valise with one hand and offered his arm for her to hold.

Biography:
Through a crazy twist of fate, Caroline Clemmons was not born on a Texas ranch. To compensate for this
illogical error, she writes about handsome cowboys, feisty ranch women, and scheming villains in a tiny office
her family calls her pink cave. She and her Hero live in North Central Texas cowboy country where they ride
herd on their dog and three rescued indoor cats as well as providing nourishment outdoors for squirrels, birds,
and other critters.
The over fifty sweet to sensuous titles she‟s created have made her an Amazon bestselling author and won
several awards. When she‟s not writing, she loves spending time with her family, reading her friends‟ books,
lunching with friends, browsing antique malls and checking Facebook.
