Description
She lost everyone she loved. He's about to lose the only family he has left. A marriage of convenience may be the home their hearts have been praying for.
When a tragic accident back East leaves rancher James Callahan the guardian of his young niece and nephew, he is determined to give them the loving home his sister wanted for them. But her will demands a "proper Christian home with two parents" within weeks, or the children will be sent to an orphanage far away. Overwhelmed, grieving, and alone on his Colorado ranch, James turns to a discreet matchmaking agency for help.
Farmer's daughter Etta Dixon has already buried her entire family. Two years of drifting from one household to another, caring for other people's children, have left her heart aching for a home of her own. When the matchmaker offers her a startling opportunity - to marry a grieving rancher and become instant mother to two hurting children - Etta senses a calling she cannot ignore.
Their marriage begins as a practical bargain: his name for her steadiness and a mother's care. But as Etta's gentle strength coaxes the children's hearts to thaw, James realizes he's received far more than a solution to a legal problem. He's been given a partner and a glimpse of the hope he thought he'd buried with his sister.
With a skeptical lawyer from back East determined to find fault, and four hearts still learning how to trust, James and Etta must prove that what began as a marriage of convenience has become a true family - rooted in faith, healed by love, and stronger than the storms that brought them together.
Perfect for readers who love clean frontier romance, instant family stories, protective heroes, and tender journeys from grief to joy. This quick escape is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone.
