    About this series

    ★★★ The much anticipated fourth story in the Flat River Matchmaker Series, which began in The Farmer's Wife. ★★★


    A woman desiring a husband and a family; a man that vows to never marry any woman, and a marriage of convenience that changes them both forever.


    June Clark's reputation was in tatters. Her marriage was a fraud. She lost everything, including her pride, in a fire started by her reprobate husband. And to make matters worse, she'd never be a mother. Desperate for a second chance, June reaches out to the local matchmaker, never dreaming that she'd be matched to a cowboy with a reputation for womanizing, drinking, and gambling!


    Percival “Ranger” Hardin loved no woman. He’d seen too many cowboy’s hearts broken by the swish of a skirt. All that changed when he meets shy June at a summer picnic. One kiss and he was lost. When he finds out she wants to adopt the baby of a local criminal, he rebuffs the interfering local matchmaker trying to push them together.


    When Ranger finally agrees to a temporary marriage of convenience until the child is one year old, he promises that it will be in name only. What happens when Ranger starts to fall for his new wife and child, but June wants to keep to the original agreement? Can he overcome her resistance and convince her to become The Cowboy’s Bride?

    Find out in this small-town, historical romance with a touch of faith.
