School Bells and Wedding Bells
James Wallin’s family is depending on him to find a schoolteacher for their frontier town. Alexandrina Fosgrave seems to be exactly what he needs to help fulfill his father’s dream of building a new community. If only James could convince her to accept the position.
Alexandrina has traveled west to seek a fresh start, not to find a groom. But after she’s stranded in the wilderness with James, he offers her his hand in marriage to protect her reputation. Both are afraid to fall in love, but maybe an engagement of convenience could make them reconsider…
Frontier Bachelors: Bold, rugged—and bound to be grooms.
“You don’t have to be lonely, Rina,” James said. “If you need someone to listen, a shoulder to cry on, you can always come to me.”
She frowned, glancing back at him. “How can you make that promise to someone you barely know?”
She seemed sincerely confused, her honey-colored brows drawn down, her pert nose pulled up. He supposed it was a sweeping statement. But he’d made it, and he meant it, and he wasn’t sure why she was so determined to doubt him.
“That’s how friends behave,” he said.
“And you consider us friends?” she asked, frown deepening.
With her looking all soft and serious, friendship seemed the least of what he wanted. “I certainly hope we’re not enemies, ma’am.”
Still she watched him, as if waiting for something more. He felt himself slipping into those clear eyes. Then he was leaning closer, and she was leaning toward him. It was only natural for their lips to meet, brush.
He pulled her close, anchoring himself in her touch, wanting never to let go.
She pulled back and stared at him, eyes wide and lips parted.
Not only had he found a way to convince the schoolmarm to stay in the wilderness, but he’d managed to let her wedge her way into his heart.

Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
—Proverbs 31:30–31
To my nieces Sarah and Linda—
no Dr. Who and no dogs and cats,
but all my love just the same; and to the Lord,
who loves me no matter who I am today.
