About The Book
Kit McBride knows that Buck’s Creek, Montana, is no place to find a wife. Good thing he’s not looking for one – between him and his brothers, and little sister Junebug, they manage all right on their own, thank you very much. Unbeknownst to Kit, though, Junebug is sick to death of cleaning and cooking for her big brothers, so she places an ad in The Matrimonial News to get him hitched.
Maddy Mooney, recently arrived from Ireland, has found employment with an eccentric young widow determined to regain her wealth. And when her mistress decides to answer an ad for a mail-order bride, Maddy is dragged along for the ride. But as soon as they arrive out West, Maddy’s mistress abandons her to chase fortune further afield, and she is left to assume the widow’s name, position, and matrimonial prospects.
Penniless, and with no other recourse in the wilderness, Maddy must convince Kit she’s the wife he never knew he needed.

Raves and Reviews
‘Yee-freaking-haw! This book is a glistering masterpiece. I fell in love with Buck’s Creek and all its whacky inhabitants. Amy Barry is a genius!’
– Amy Andrews, author of The Forbidden Affair
‘The title tells the story, but we're in it for the ride! What a feel-good, happy, sunshiny read is Kit McBride Gets A Wife. Meet gentle giant Kit McBride (and his brothers – whew!), a meddling, curious, no-nonsense younger sister, an Irish maid, pesky trappers, a yappy dog and unpredictable weather and there you have it – gorgeous characters in an enthralling, page-turning fun-filled story, sassy and sweet in the wilds of Montana at Buck's Creek in 1886. Amy's love of the landscape is romance itself, beautifully written.’
– Darry Fraser, bestselling author of The Milliner of Bendigo
