Gretchen's Dilemma
(2021)(The first book in the Agate Bay, Minnesota series)
A Story by Christine Sterling
A spinster who expects to never marry; a man who needs a wife before winter; a marriage of convenience that can save them both.
Gretchen Schmidt knows she is turning into a spinster. She has no prospects for marriage after her best friend, whom she’s loved since childhood turned her down. Desperate to run away to where no one knows her, Gretchen leaves to be a mail order bride in Agate Bay, Minnesota. What she didn't count on was how remote the small town was, or how handsome her new husband would be.
Jacob Swensen had no desire to marry a woman from the East. But with the winter closing in, he knew he would need to marry quickly to get a bride to the remote town of Agate Bay before the harsh weather arrives. When he receives a response to his advertisement, he offers Gretchen a ticket immediately. What he didn't expect was to fall in love with his beautiful new wife, especially considering she is pining for another.
Can Gretchen and Jacob survive the harsh Minnesota winter? Will she be able to forget her past and build a new life with Jacob? What happens when the man that broke Gretchen's heart shows up to claim her as his own?
