Description

A marriage of convenience isn't exactly what she had in mind.

After a rocky start, Rachel Peters finally has her life on track. Then a tragic accident takes away her sister and leaves her to raise her niece, Kendra, alone. About to lose custody of her last blood relative, Rachel is desperate to prove she can adequately care for her niece. On the verge of running away to keep Kendra, a new friend offers Rachel an opportunity she can't refuse.

Brandon Barlow has long admired Rachel. When her world begins to fall apart, he feels led to help. A marriage of convenience would enable him to provide Rachel and Kendra with a stable place to live, proper health insurance, and a viable shot at staying together. Once Rachel gained full custody of her niece, the marriage could be annulled. His plan provides the perfect solution, until Brandon realizes he's fallen in love with Rachel.

Through love and patience, can he help Rachel realize that, even when she experiences storms in her life, she's never alone?

    I loved this endearing book filled with faith hope an loving unexpectedly that comes with time! It's is true that God knows just what we need to make the choice to love those pitted against us or working behind the scenes for us! Oh how wonderful God is in loving us no matter the hurt we find ourselves in.

    This book made me cry, praise God, cry and thank God again. It wasnt just a love story bw the two main characters but also the love story bw God and His children. This is a beautifully written Christian book that will edify you, cause you to want to pray more and also shows you how to approach evangelizing to those around you without pushing. Be an example, be patient, be loving, and dont give up knowing that if it is to be, God will allow it to be.

    This is one of a few examples of good Christian reading. Thank you for that. The story though sad at times had the most wonderful ending.

    God inspired. Truly inspirational and helpful in knowing that God puts people in our lives when we need them the most. We will still have storms to bet but God will use prayers of others to guide us through the journey
