A widowed rancher and father might have a second chance at love with an avowed spinster in this historical romance.

Rancher Nick Gray, once Mariah's girlhood crush, wanted a mother to tend to his children, not a wife to warm his bed. Still, she'd made that bed; now Mariah had to lie in it. Yet could she bear to lie in it alone?

Nick Gray just needed someone to manage his life. So who better than avowed spinster Mariah Scott? Surely she'd appreciate an uncomplicated marriage of convenience. But now that they were married, could he? Because his new wife was turning out to be much more than he had ever bargained for!
