Just because it's convenient doesn't mean it's easy.

Book 2 of Jamesville.

"So, will you marry me?" Although not a particularly romantic proposal, Rebecca Gentry seriously considers accepting because it comes from Jake Tanner, the man who sheÆs secretly loved for years.

Rebecca has been alone for most of her life, but sheÆs made a life sheÆs content with. She has her own sewing business, a lovely apartment, and a few good friends. But itÆs her special friendship with Jake that has always been most important to her. Now, he is proposing a marriage of convenience as he finds himself in need of a wife to help him raise his orphaned niece.

Convinced that she can teach him to share a real marriage rather than one of convenience, she agrees to his offer. But, becoming a family is not an easy journey for any of them. Both she and Jake have their own insecurities and challenges to overcome if their marriage is to have a chance to survive. But unforeseen problems test their new relationship and threaten to destroy what theyÆve just begun to build.
