When Eleanor Carter witnesses her husband's murder, and can identify the culprits, she's taken into protective custody.
Living in sin with her protector for an unknown period of time doesn't sit right with her, so she takes the only option available to her â€" she marries him. She insists it's a marriage of convenience only, and they agree to annul the marriage when it's all over.
Glen Sanders has been protector for a number of women, but none quite like this one. Everything must be done by the book, and when he embraces her to keep up the pretense of their marriage, she flinches. At least at first.
His suggestion they marry to pull off the pretense is not only for her protection. He is certainly not adverse to having this high society lady as his wife for the rest of their days.
Can these two make their forced exile work? And will their close proximity force them to face their feelings for each other?
Author's Promise: This is a heartwarming historical romance novella with a happily ever after ending and no cliffhangers. It is a clean and wholesome story with nothing more than hugs, kisses, and holding hands.
