In Civil War–era Seattle, a married man can acquire 640 acres of virgin timberland. Unfortunately for lumberjack Joe Denton, his wife has just died. It doesn't take him long, however, to hit on a plan that satisfies his two big needs: he will buy one of the women arriving from the East, marry her in name only, and keep her around as a full-time cook and housekeeper. What he doesn't bargain for is that his prospective bride turns out to be Anna Ivey, a feisty young woman who really doesn't want to tie the knot with this very presumptuous stranger. A faith-based romance by the author of Deep in the Heart of Trouble and Courting Trouble.
This inspiring romance by Christy Award winner Deeanne Gist sets a spirited gal and an enterprising lumberjack on a collision course in 1866 Washington Territory. Set to lose half his timberland unless he finds a wife soon, widower Joe Denton places an order for a bride who can cook. When she arrives, the bonnie lass certainly cooks up a storm-but she knows nothing about marrying Joe. "A keeper!"-Romantic Times, a Top Pick review
