Makeshift Marriage — Janet Franklin

A PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENT

Carefree Rachel Carson's life had changed when she suddenly became sole guardian of her orphaned niece and nephew. For their sake, she'd deferred her dreams, taken a steady if unexciting job and converted her one-bedroom apartment to sleep three. Frazzled but determined, she'd begun establishing the loving bonds that would make her new family secure...and then disaster struck.

Her custody rights threatened, Rachel turned to responsible, strong Brad Williamson -- the man she'd fallen in love with and then left behind when the demands of instant motherhood intruded. To her shock, Brad pragmatically proposed a marriage of convenience. He'd get the family life he longed for; she'd get to keep her precious charges. What was there to lose...except her heart?
