Sarah Morgenthaler is back with a heart-mending contemporary romance featuring a single dad you'll fall for; a satisfying slow burn love affair; found family you'll root for; small town holiday magic; and all the quirky animals and snowy rustic scenes your heart desires.
Sienna Naples's family has taken care of their wild Idaho land for generations and Sienna can't imagine any other life. But at Christmastime, with her parents gone and her painful marriage finally over, it's full of memories...and incredibly lonely. Until a tall, handsome stranger and a little girl walk into her life and suddenly the holidays are alive again.
When single father Guy Maple shows up as the result of an ad meant to be a joke, the handsome Montana construction worker isn’t joking. Money is tight this Christmas, and Guy’s four-year-old daughter Emma has stage-five chronic kidney disease. She needs a kidney transplant, but if Guy can’t prove that he can afford Emma’s anti-rejection medications, his daughter isn’t going to stay on the transplant list. Guy’s willing to do anything, including marrying a stranger, to keep her safe. It's an impulsive marriage of convenience, and Sienna knows this isn’t real, no matter how much she adores Emma, how well Guy fits in to the ranching life—or how much light and laughter is coming into their lives as a result. But the more time she spends with her new family, the more she fears losing the fragile, feisty little girl and the kind, devoted, hard-working, incredibly attractive man who is her husband—but is it only in name?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This unforgettable contemporary from Morgenthaler (the Moose Springs series) pairs a woman about to give up on love with a man determined to save his dying daughter. The day Sienna Naples's contentious divorce is finalized, her best friend, Jess, puts a humorous, celebratory ad in the paper for a "husband for hire" to help Jess out around the ranch she now runs alone, promising medical benefits and a 401(k). Sienna's not expecting a response, but Guy Maple is more than willing to marry a complete stranger if it means obtaining the health insurance he needs for his four-year-old daughter to get a life-saving kidney transplant. Moved, Sienna agrees to a marriage of convenience. She too is dealing with an ailing loved one: her father is dying of Alzheimer's. As the holidays approach, Sienna and Guy band together to save the family they're becoming—and fall in love along the way. Sienna's ranch provides a gorgeous backdrop to this heart-tugging tale. Readers should have tissues at the ready.
