Adam Brogen could use a little domestic help, so he hires Grace to clean his cabin and provide an evening meal a few days a week while he’s away at work. After all, he’s building a woodworking business, or trying to. He has a good heart, at least that’s what the two older, widowed sisters tell him. The Tart sisters are a little too busy trying to make matches with folks around town, but they mean well. They tell Adam he would be a great help if they could hire him to move their most treasured heirloom in the new covered wagon they recently purchased. They’re moving to a new town where they’re opening a tea shop. The town, however, is several weeks away by wagon. Grace’s best friend’s dying wish was that Grace would raise her toddler, Emma. After losing her job, Grace needs to find a way to provide for herself and little Emma. Adam Brogen is often gruff and grumpy, but he does kind things for the Tart sisters—and much to Grace’s relief, he hires her to clean and cook for him. One night, Grace is forced to take refuge overnight in his cabin during a sudden storm, and now, her reputation is in tatters. Adam is concerned for Grace and young Emma after a few men from town talk about Grace and how they’d like to take advantage of her. Adam feels partly responsible for the way the townsfolk have turned on her. To protect her and Emma, Adam and Grace marry before they leave with the Tart sisters on the covered wagon journey. While theirs is strictly a marriage of convenience, only one of them falling in love becomes most inconvenient. Can Adam convince Grace to let him into her heart after he assured her he wanted nothing of a marriage, except to provide his name and protection to her and Emma? Grace is a Christian marriage of convenience, pioneer romance set in the western frontier and is part of the multi-author Prairie Rose Collection. All books in the series are stand-alone stories and can be read in any order. Enjoy reading ALL the Prairie Roses Collection
