Adelaine

Adelaine Campbell has just become the sole guardian of her two-year-old sister after their mother's death from Tuberculosis. Though she's old enough to be the little girl's mother, the harsh reality is that pretending the child is hers is the only way to secure a future. As a mail-order bride for Dallas Remington, Adelaine knows she's walking into this new life with a lie—a terrible foundation for any marriage. But what choice does she have?

Despite her handsome and charming new husband, something feels off. Dallas is hiding secrets of his own, and Adelaine can't help but wonder if she'll ever have the honest, loving marriage she's dreamed of. As the weight of their unspoken truths begins to build, she must decide whether to confront the lies or risk losing the chance at real happiness.
