A Convenient Christmas Wedding

by Regina Scott

Overview

The Marriage Agreement

Proposing a marriage of convenience to a rugged logger is the boldest move of Nora Underhill’s sheltered life. In return for Simon Wallin’s protection from her overbearing family, the unassuming seamstress offers prime frontier farmland. But their paper marriage changes when Nora’s greedy brother tries to draw her back into a life of drudgery. Her only option: move to Simon’s farm, and into the center of his loving, unruly family.

Years of shouldering responsibility have left Simon cynical and reserved. But little by little, Nora’s warmth opens his shuttered heart to joy. With their marriage claim under threat, can this practical arrangement blossom over the holidays…and become a love for all seasons?

Editorial Reviews

10/15/2016
Proposing to a man was the last thing quiet seamstress Nora Underhill ever thought she'd do. Yet when she learns that her greedy brother and his spoiled, demanding wife are moving to Seattle, she sees her hard-won independence vanishing and strikes a desperate bargain with upstanding Simon Wallin—her 160-acre land grant for his protection in marriage. It's the perfect answer to both their problems, and, naturally, their pragmatic marriage could never become real. Never. Delightful family interactions (a crew of rowdy brothers are memorable), admirable protagonists who come into their own, and descriptions that bring the colorful historical Northwest to life combine in a well-paced story that saves a twist or two for the end. VERDICT Tender yet laced with humor, this well-researched, faith-suffused Christmas romance should please both inspirational and sweet historical fans; a worthy addition to this popular series. Scott (A Rancher of Convenience) lives in Tacoma.
