She needs to marry to keep her hotel… but she’s not expecting to lose her heart.
California, 1860. Sarah Foster didn’t think things could get any worse after her father died, leaving her to run their hotel alone—until his will revealed a shocking stipulation. She has sixty days to marry, or lose the hotel, but her father’s selected suitor is the cruelest man she’s ever known. Sarah scrambles to find a different groom, and begrudgingly places an ad for a mail-order husband. But no one responds—and time is running out.
Elijah Montgomery can’t believe his great aunt wants to sell their New York apartment and travel across the country so he can run a hotel again—an arrangement that also requires him to marry the hotel’s owner. But his aunt never takes no for an answer, and Elijah soon finds himself on a journey that will alter all that’s familiar—with unexpected consequences.
As Elijah and Sarah adjust to life as newlywed strangers, unrest that’s been brewing towards the local native tribe reaches boiling point. As they each wrestle with the impact of the horrific massacre, Elijah’s unwavering faith challenges Sarah to question her rejection of God.
But when further injustices come to light, will they find the strength to hold on to hope—or lose it all?
