Brides of Hope Mountain Books in Order

Brides of Hope Mountain is all about three sisters who grew up almost feral on a remote Colorado peak. Raised by an older relative who believed the outside world was deadly, the Nordegren women have survived blizzards and wild animals—but have almost no idea how normal towns or relationships work.

In Aiming for Love, Josephine Nordegren is an archer with perfect aim and a deep curiosity about the valley below. When rancher David Warden drives a herd too close to the sisters’ hidden cabin and his family flees bandits up the mountain, Jo has to decide whether to risk revealing their existence to help a wounded man and his kin.

Woman of Sunlight shifts the focus to Ilsa, who has even less experience with civilization. When she chases an enemy off the mountain and ends up traveling with an exasperated rancher who’s trying to keep them both alive, every town, meal, and social rule feels like a brand-new kind of wilderness.

In Her Secret Song, Ursula faces a winter alone on Hope Mountain as illness and isolation force her to confront long-buried fears. A stranger hiding his own past appears at her doorstep, and the two must weather storms from both nature and human enemies.

The trio of books works as one long arc about unlearning fear. As the sisters step off their mountaintop and into communities below, they discover that people can be just as dangerous—but also far kinder—than they were taught to expect. The series keeps Connealy’s quick pacing and humor while letting readers watch three very sheltered women grow into their callings and their relationships, both with men who love them and with the God they’re only beginning to know.
