A young widow with nowhere to turn. A Montana rancher in need of a partner. Can two strangers build a home—and a future—on the wild frontier?

Gormlaith McGowan’s hopes for a new beginning are dashed when she arrives in Montana to learn her groom-to-be has died. Alone, nearly penniless, and a stranger in a harsh land, she faces not only an uncertain future but also the threat of her late husband’s family, who wrongly blame her for his death. With no job prospects and nowhere to go, Gormlaith’s resilience is put to the test.

Garrett McDonald never expected to marry so soon, but when the sheriff urges him to consider the stranded widow, he agrees to meet her. One look at Gormlaith’s spirit and determination convinces him to propose a marriage of convenience. She claims experience with farming and animals, but nothing in her Irish past prepared her for the challenges of a Montana ranch.

As Gormlaith and Garrett work side by side, her hard work and courage begin to win his heart. But life on the frontier is full of surprises—and dangers—that will test their partnership and their growing feelings. Can they turn a marriage of necessity into a true family and lasting love?

Perfect for readers who love western historical romance, mail order bride stories, Montana frontier romance, marriage of convenience, found family tales, strong heroine journeys, and uplifting stories of hope and redemption.
