The next thing she knows, she wakes up with a ring on her finger. Paul Trevor has always wanted a family, but his long work hours and remote location make dating impossible, so he takes an unconventional first step: sending away for a wife.

Now Paul just needs to convince her it’s the best mistake she’ll ever make. Published by Debbie Macomber Books
