Can a man learn that some things are out of his control?

CHARITY O’CONNELL receives a minimum of five marriage proposals a day from dirty miners and old men. After her father drowns in the creek, Charity supports herself by taking in laundry. Her gambling father squandered every penny he earned, leaving her with nothing. Then she saves a little girl from being trampled and catches the attention of the child’s handsome father, Gabriel Williams.

When Gabe proposes, Charity believes God has answered her prayers. Marriage would mean a home, a family, and freedom from the leering glances and crude remarks she endures as a single woman.

Gabe admires Charity’s strength and sees her as the answer to his own prayers. He needs someone to care for his two children and agrees to a marriage in name only.

The arrangement wounds Charity more than she wants to admit. No respectable man has ever wanted her for more than companionship, and the first man she can imagine building a life with wants only a mother for his children. To make matters worse, Gabe has a weakness for gambling. By the beginning of the following spring, if both parties are in agreement, they’ll annul the marriage and part ways.

Neither expects love to interfere with their plans or for God to intervene with a plan of His own. AMAZON PRINT
