Jamie

A determined woman chasing her dreams. A wary widower with a guarded heart. Can a surprise marriage turn strangers into a family in Angel Springs, Colorado?
Olivia Stewart is tired of being pitied for her broken engagement and for teaching other people’s children while longing for a family of her own. Taking a bold step, she signs with a matrimonial agency and is drawn to Jamie Fraser—a widower with two young children who seems to offer the home and purpose she craves. But Colorado holds unexpected challenges that threaten not only Olivia’s dreams, but her very safety.
Rancher Jamie Fraser is stunned to discover his mother has arranged for a mail-order bride without his knowledge. Still grieving his late wife’s betrayal, Jamie has no intention of marrying again. Now, he finds himself with a stubborn new wife determined to change his home and his heart. As Olivia and Jamie clash over their future, they must confront their own fears and past hurts.
In the small town of Angel Springs, big dreams can come true. Can two strong-willed people at odds find happiness—and forge a powerful, enduring love?
