THE BOOK
THE BLURB
A marriage of convenience uncovers secrets that spark a
battle for inheritance, family, and a chance at love.
Lonely bachelor Noah Vestal longs for a family of his own. His inherited
farmhouse feels empty, and working the expansive orchard doesn’t keep his mind
off his life in America before being shipwrecked on the Land. When he learns
the lovely widow next door is being pressured to marry a man she’s never met
and to leave her son behind, he offers to marry her. She could have a home and
keep both of her children, and he could fill the orchard house with the family
he longs for. But when Noah’s inheritance is contested by someone claiming to
be the orchard’s rightful heir, he stands to lose everything—including his new
family.
Bette Owens has made the best of things since losing her husband three years
ago, but now her forceful in-laws want rid of her. When they persuade her
parents to help separate her from her son, she has nowhere to turn but to the
generous bachelor next door. She has always admired Noah and misses the
protection and companionship of having a husband, so when Noah proposes a quick
marriage, it seems like a wise remedy. Just when her children are settling into
their new home—and love between Bette and Noah seems possible—she discovers Noah
isn’t who he says he is.
While the Good Springs elder council becomes judge and jury over the orchard’s
ownership, Noah’s dreams of supporting a family and being part of a community
slip away. And as Bette’s friends side against her, she finds herself in an
unimaginable fight for her family—and for love.
Can their marriage of convenience withstand the battle for inheritance, family,
and love?

Steam rose in a soft column from the kettle spout, giving Bette a perfect blend of heat and moisture to shape another hat brim.
