When Noah Prescott greets his mail-order bride at the train station, he’s stunned to find she’s brought three younger siblings with her—she never mentioned a single one of them in the many letters they exchanged. Neither can he shake the feeling that isn’t the only secret Florence is keeping from him.
Annie Tomlinson never meant to deceive anyone. But after meeting the real Florence Barnes on a train heading west—and learning Florence had fallen in love with someone else—Annie agrees to take her place, seizing the only chance she has to keep her family together after their parents’ death. Marrying a stranger isn’t part of the plan... but it may be the only way to give her siblings the stable life they deserve.
Noah values truth above all else—and Annie fears the secret she carries could destroy their marriage before it truly begins. As feelings grow and trust is tested, Annie must decide if confessing the truth is worth risking the safety and acceptance her family has found in Walton Valley.
Book 3 in the Walton Valley series — a heartfelt tale of second chances, found family, and love forged in honesty.
