Elizabeth – she had a privileged life in Boston. After her Mother had passed, Beth had taken on the duties of Hostess for her Father’s business events. Dinners, Teas and many others.
But now he had passed on as well, and Elizabeth was shocked when a proclaimed business partner had appeared at her door demanding payment for a debt owed to him. He knew there was no money, so he offered another solution…..to be his bride.
NEVER
Beth knew she had to escape!
Jacob – As Deputy Sheriff in Sweet Falls, Jacob was living a good life. Lately though, the evenings were getting lonely in his house by himself. Jacob had thought that he was a confirmed bachelor, but after seeing the Sheriff, and then his brother bringing brides from back East with the Mail-Order Bride service, he was thinking that maybe he should try to place an ad.
He was an answer to her prayers, and Beth did not see a reason to share her past, or rather, her Father’s past. Besides, Jacob would never find out.
Until Augustus Creekmore arrived in Sweet Falls and demanded she return to Boston as his bride….payment for the debt owed.
Why hadn’t she told him??
It was terrible….would Jacob send her away?
Can Jacob trust Beth?
Will the secret be too much for their fledgling love?
