Synopsis

Desperate to escape an arranged marriage in Chicago, Mary Aldridge travels west to claim the Wyoming ranch she inherited from her late aunt. But when she arrives in Silver Creek, she learns that the sheriff she planned to marry for protection is dead, leaving her stranded and with nowhere left to turn… until a frontier doctor becomes her only ray hope. Dr. Gideon Hayes has devoted his life to caring for the people of Silver Creek and raising his orphaned niece, Lila, after a devastating family tragedy. Overworked, grieving, and unprepared to raise a silent little girl alone, Gideon had never even thought of marriage for himself. Least of all to a desperate stranger who walks into his life needing a husband. Gideon and Mary’s union begins as a simple bargain, but the quiet life they build together soon awakens something neither of them expected. As gossip spreads through town and the man Mary has fled from closes in, they must decide whether the love growing between them is strong enough to withstand the secrets that threaten to tear them apart. "A Doctor for the Unexpected Bride" is a historical romance novel of approximately 80,000 words. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Tropes: Marriage of Convenience, Forced Proximity, Brooding Hero, Guardian of Innocent, Found Family
