Amanda Drake never planned to marry again after losing her husband, until the orphan train brings ten-year-old Jeremy and his injured sister Grace to Maple Grove, Texas.
When she and persistent suitor Craig Parker impulsively marry to keep the siblings together, Amanda doesn't expect to fall in love with her new husband. But Craig's stubborn pride stands in the way of accepting Amanda's inheritance...money that could pay for the surgery Grace desperately needs.
As they navigate their complicated feelings and build a life together on Craig's ranch, this unexpected family must learn that true strength comes not from independence, but from leaning on each other.
