Charlotte by Kari Trumbo

A bluestocking bride has no business in rustic pioneer Montana, yet, there she is.
Charlotte escaped a terrible match, but has she jumped from the frying pan into the fire?
Jacob Lokken is looking for a sturdy bride to help him raise his son.
The woman who arrives to fill the need is anything but. She is frail, bookish, and frightened.
He agrees to give her one month, until Christmas, to decide if she wants to stay. But when their time is up and her past comes to call, will he be able to let her go?
