Loving Colt — Lola Grace Stevens

Colt Dillard needs a wife. Someone who is strong enough to handle being the wife of a logger, but also gentle enough to be good mother to his young daughter. Through the help of Penny Rose's service, he thinks he's found the perfect woman, that is, until he meets her.

Ava Baker is aware that first impressions are all that matters to most people, and equally aware that she appears to be frail. However, she is determined to show Colt that not only is she hardier then people think, but that she is also exactly what he expected, the right woman to be his wife and mother to his daughter.

Being a man of his word, Colt goes through with the wedding. Seeing Ava with his daughter assures him that he's made the right decision. Letting his heart be open to falling in love and risk losing another wife… That is another problem altogether.
