A Bride for Jeremiah (The Proxy Brides, #1)

Can one wounded heart heal another?

Esther Thompson longs for a husband and a home, but at nearing thirty, and plain as they come, she knows her chances of having either are slim. Until the loss of her position as a governess forces her into becoming a mail order bride.

After losing his beloved wife, Jeremiah Price is left with a broken heart, five children and a farm to take care of. Desperate for a new wife to ease his workload, and after three successive brides balk at the prospect of such a large family, he insists on a proxy marriage for his fourth. Whatever happens, he needs this one to stay.

When Esther and Jeremiah finally meet, neither is what the other is hoping for.

But they could turn out to be just what the other needs.
