Lucie: Bride of Tennessee — Heidi Vanlandingham

Taking a bride for the sake of his daughter, he discovers a second chance at love.

Overwhelmed with responsibilities after the death of her parents, Lucie Croft accepts a mail-order bride contract. When she and her twelve-year-old brother arrive in Chattanooga, Tennessee, life throws another hitch into her dreams when she learns her groom is dead. Homeless and desperate, she accepts help from a handsome hotel owner.

Sebastian McCord understands what it takes to own and run a successful hotel, but he has no idea how to raise a child as a single father. When pressured by his own mother to accept the role as Lucie's groom, he skeptically agrees. He truly needs help with his willful six-year-old girl, but will Lucie accept his offer?

Two people overwhelmed with responsibilities. Will they find love and create a family or will life conspire to keep them apart?
