A Cowboy’s Convenient Marriage by Jessie Gussman

When a preacher turned car salesman asks for her hand in a marriage of convenience, Ada Clyborne finds herself saying yes. Maybe because she’s in her mid-thirties with no prospective husband in sight, or maybe because there’s something about the man that strikes deep in the heart of her. Regardless, she always wanted a beautiful marriage like her parents and did not expect to be saying “I do” to a loveless lifetime union.
Cash Johnson didn’t tell the Clyborn family he used to be a preacher, but had left the pulpit after being falsely accused by a young girl of unspeakable wrong. He was exonerated, since she was obviously lying, but it destroyed his faith in mankind and shook his faith in God, and he headed west where he did not expect to find a letter promising a billion dollars if he just got married and stayed.

The marriage part was easier than he thought, but his wife is a daily reminder of the God he walked away from, and the billion dollars is a miracle even he can’t deny. Could God be working it all for his good and God’s glory, and could the preacher who left the Lord come back and fall in love, too?
