I Thee Wed by Linda Ford

A cruel joke or a fortunate misunderstanding?

When Amelia journeys west, all she wants is a fresh start- and a safe home for the two-year-old child she’s vowed to protect. But the man who promised to marry her doesn’t even recognize her name. Stranded and heartbroken, Amelia convinces Zach to let her stay- just until she can make other arrangements.
Who is responsible for the letters she received if they weren’t from Zach?
Zach doesn’t want for more trouble. With a rebellious teenage sister, a father fading into confusion, a cook lost to the bottle, and a powerful rancher trying to drive him out, he’s barely holding on. The last thing he needs is another responsibility- especially not one as lovely, capable, and quietly determined as Amelia.
To his surprise, she brings order to the chaos and light to his weary heart. But his situation is not one he feels he can ask another to shoulder.

Will Amelia, in desperation for a home, accept the offer of marriage from a man from the Dakotas who truly wants her?
Can Zach overcome his reluctance and offer them all exactly what they need- home, safety and most importantly, love?
