The Marriage Maker

Successful businessman Ethan Redford never proposed a deal he couldn’t close—and that included marriage.

Even if his wife was to be one of convenience alone. Yet Cleo Kincaid Monroe’s demands opened him up to emotional repercussions he’d never expected….

When a tragic carjacking in Houston left him guardian to seven-month-old Jonah, Ethan, accustomed to high-stakes buyouts, treated family survival like a hostile takeover, securing an unbeatable mother. Returning to Whitehorn, Montana, he offered to buy the Beansprouts day care building for Cleo Monroe in exchange for marriage. Determined to protect his nephew, Ethan calculated every term with corporate precision, expecting a purely practical merger.
