Love not Required

Liam Page has lost too much: two wives, his faith, and nearly himself. Now, as a single father to baby Olive, he's determined to stay sober, stay steady, and never marry again, especially not for love. But when Lynsi Torres, a fellow teacher and friend, faces losing custody of her orphaned niece, Stella, she makes Liam an offer he can't refuse: a marriage in name only to secure Stella's future. Lynsi needs a British husband to adopt Stella before their Christmas Eve court date. Liam needs help with Olive...and maybe, just maybe, a reason to believe in second chances. It's a practical solution, nothing more. Love isn't required. But as they navigate family skepticism, legal hurdles, and their own fragile hearts, Liam and Lynsi discover that God's plans don't always follow the rules. When Stella falls ill and Olive's laughter fills their home, the lines between convenience and care begin to blur. Can two people who swore off love find healing, trust, and a family they never expected? A tender Christian romance about faith, redemption, and the unexpected gifts of marriage. Perfect for fans of uplifting stories, found family, and love that grows where you didn't think it would.
