The Schoolteacher Who Advertised for a Husband: A Christian Historical Western Marriage-of-Convenience Romance About Faith, Courage, and Unexpected Lo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798189935268)

She has thirty days to find a husband-or lose the two children she promised to keep together.

Kansas, 1888. Schoolteacher Rebecca Hartwell never expected a courtroom to decide whether devotion made a family. But when a wealthy relative petitions for custody of orphaned Danny and Lily Hale, the judge demands proof of a permanent household and a second legal guardian.

With time running out, Rebecca does the unthinkable: she advertises for a husband.

Widowed rancher Ben Walker answers with honesty, a struggling ranch, and a promise he refuses to take lightly. Their marriage begins as a practical arrangement-no demanded affection, no false declarations, and no separation of the children.

But life at Cottonwood Ranch soon binds them through Ben's grieving daughter, a fiercely protective boy, a frightened little girl, mounting debt, and a ruthless relative willing to break the law to get what he wants.

As hard-earned trust becomes unexpected love, Rebecca and Ben must decide whether a family created from necessity can survive when every fear, secret, and promise is tested.

A heartfelt Christian historical Western romance featuring a marriage of convenience, a widowed rancher, orphaned siblings, found family, slow-burn love, faith, courage, and a satisfying happily-ever-after.
