He wanted a proper wife. What he got was Sadie Everhart. Known for her sunny smile and impulsive ways, Sadie Everhart has never fit the mold of what polite society calls refined behavior. But when a sudden storm strands her overnight with the town’s most eligible—and most serious—bachelor, she’s faced with an impossible risk scandal, or agree to a marriage of convenience.. Eli Reynolds has no time for romantic nonsense. With a young sister to raise and a business to run, he needs a wife who’s sensible and steady—not a free spirit with a stubborn streak. But day by day, Sadie surprises him… with her humor, her heart, and her unwavering faith. Drawn together by propriety but held together by something deeper, Eli and Sadie must decide whether love can grow in the most unexpected places—and whether opposites truly do attract.
