Young widow Maggie Parker thought her chance at love died with her husband. Haunted by memories of the past, she has no interest in the eager suitors calling on her in New York. What she craves is a new beginning—anywhere but home. So when her sister signs her up with a matrimonial agency, Maggie agrees to the first match offered, hoping only for peace and companionship. But Colton Hayes of Brownsville, Wyoming, is nothing like she imagined. Rugged, distant, and burdened by secrets of his own, he seems almost reluctant to marry her. Yet beneath his silence lies a depth Maggie can’t ignore—and a kindness that calls to her grieving heart. As two broken souls navigate the rocky terrain of a marriage neither expected, Maggie discovers that sometimes love finds you when you stop searching… and that even after heartbreak, hope can bloom again.
