An actress trying to protect her inheritance, a widowed father trying to protect his children and the marriage of convenience that could bring them success or fail them all. Hilde Carter has always dreamed of being on stage, acting out Shakespeare for audiences everywhere. Her parents die, naming her as the heir to her families shipping fortune. There is only one problem – she needs to be married, or the business defaults to her Uncle. He plans on taking the money and closing the factory. Having no intention of marrying and giving up her career, she jumps when her attorney suggests a proxy marriage that could solve all her problems. What she didn’t count on was the judge insisting she produce her husband or forfeit the company. Benjamin Remington is quite content with his life in Sulphur Springs as the owner of a hot springs that is in high demand. He provides a comfortable living for himself and his two daughters. When the girl’s grandparents insist, he remarry or turn the girls over to them to raise, he enlists the help of the local minister to find him a proxy bride. Preferably one he would never have to meet. He never counted on her showing up in town, or her demand that he returns with her. What happens when Hilde finally meets her husband and his in-laws? Will this pretend marriage become real once they get to know each other? Is Hilde willing to give up everything she dreamed of for the greatest role of all, being a mother and wife?
