Matchmaking with a Mission
Practical, steady, levelheaded: all qualities single father Dr. John Orton expects in both a governess and a wife. But his children’s temporary governess Miss Marjorie Maren seems set on finding him an impractical woman to love...despite his plans of marrying solely for convenience. Nothing could be more exasperating to the handsome widower—except his increasing interest in Marjorie.
Vivacious and fun-loving: that’s the kind of bride the reserved doctor needs. Before Marjorie leaves to pursue her acting dreams, she intends to match him with a suitable wife candidate. Yet growing affection for her four charges and their dashing father has awakened a new hope—that she might be his perfect bride. But can she convince her employer to take a chance on love and claim real happiness before it slips away?
“Miss Baker came to supper tonight.”
Marjorie wrapped her arms around her waist. “That’s nice.”
“That’s nice?” John wished he could concentrate on reprimanding her. Instead, he could only think about her curls and her beautiful voice as she sang to Laura. “You had no right to invite a guest to my home to dine with me.”
She was quiet for a moment and then she spoke softly. “I have a confession to make. She’s not the only woman coming to supper this week. Miss Addams and Miss Fletcher will also be coming.”
“But—why?”
She took a step toward him, and he pulled back. He could smell the lilac scent she wore and it made his mind a jumbled mess. Why was he responding to her this way? She was the governess. He must keep that in mind.
“You said you’re looking for a wife,” she said. “I thought each of them would be a good candidate.”
“What gives you the right to do that?”
“I care about your children—and you.”
She cared about him? He swallowed the rush of surprise that surfaced at her statement.
He couldn’t allow himself to dwell on Marjorie Maren, or his growing attraction to her.
The sooner he found a wife, the better.
