With no means to support herself, Ellie Kilmer agrees to work as a housekeeper for the young widower who lives on Dillon Island, hopeful she can obtain a proper reference. But Jackson Smith quickly realizes that Ellie’s presence may solve his own problems–both the rearing of his young boys and the scandal that surrounds his first marriage.
When a marriage of convenience is offered, Ellie is initially humiliated. Though she is past the age most women marry, she has more pride than to agree to his outlandish suggestion. Yet what options does she have? To marry would mean a home and stability. So despite the rumors circling Jackson and his first wife, Ellie accepts this unlikely proposal…
My Review:
Another gold star for Bethany House Publishing! I received the following book in exchange for my honest review. I honestly can say this was a great book about a woman who had nothing to call her own and a man who had experienced great losses.
It’s sad how many people confuse lust with love, allowing someone’s good (or not so good) looks to determine whether they’re ‘interested’ in that person. This story looks deeper into what real love can be, or could’ve been.
Enjoy reading! You can grab a copy for yourself at Amazon.com, ChristianBook.com or your local bookstore. It’s available on the Kindle, too. You’d also enjoy the previous books I’ve read by Bethany House Publishers:
