Will this marriage of convenience bloom into love?
Cora Mason, the town's independent rag and bone peddler, needs a shield from hardship and a relentless local schemer. Ephraim Burke, a carpenter haunted by his past, needs a wife to care for his ailing grandmother. Their solution is a practical marriage—a vow of convenience.
Neither expects love from their sensible bargain. But as shared days turn into whispered confidences, and they witness the quiet courage in each other, an undeniable spark ignites. Respect soon blossoms into a fragile, unexpected tenderness.
Now, they must confront more than just the town's harsh judgment; they must face the surprising turn of their own hearts. Can these two outcasts, bound by necessity, forge a true and lasting love, or will the shadows of their pasts and a society quick to condemn tear their convenient arrangement apart?
