THE BRIDE Sue Ellen Fabian is a beautician with a secret dream she knows will never come true in the small-town of Wild Rose, Iowa. Still, if she can't have a family of her own, she'll channel her love of children toward her cherished godsons. After all, there's nothing she won't do for the small, motherless boys--even marry a man whose heart she knows she can never claim... THE GROOM Luke Walker is a local heart-throb turned single dad. Luke is desperate to keep his children but, without a wife, he's sure to lose custody to his meddling in-laws. Enter Sue Ellen, with her platonic offer to become the new Mrs. Walker--no strings attached. In no time, she transforms Luke's rambling old farmhouse into a cozy home--and herself into a seductive woman Luke is struggling to resist...
