Elizabeth (Lizzie to her family) was restless to begin her own life. She loved her siblings but as the eldest of nine children, she practically raised them, which wasn't what she would have planned. She longed to travel, to see more of the world than the little small town she grew up in.
Except she had no means to get out on her own. She was trapped…until she saw his ad in the Matrimonial Times
William, son and heir to his grandfather’s extensive ranch, thought he had it all. He had money, he’d traveled at his leisure, and he had all friends a man could want…what more could there be?
But - he wasn’t expecting his grandfather’s will to say he had to marry by his 25th birthday or forfeit it all.
William finds that it turned out his grandfather had taken matters into his own hands and placed an ad on his behalf…for a mail order bride.
He had to marry her, he had no choice. He is prepared to have a marriage of convenience and leave her to her own devices on the Ranch while he continues to live the “life”.
But now that she’s here on his ranch he wonders if that is the best solution……
Lizzie, who had sought refuge in marriage, refused to accept a life devoid of love and purpose. She recognized the blessings surrounding William, the beauty of the ranch, and the potential for a genuine connection.
With determination and a heart full of hope, Lizzie embarks on a journey to show William the path to true happiness and the untapped potential of their Christmas love story in the rugged West.
