A Year for Ever After

“A contemporary, marriage-of-convenience story that grabbed me from page one and didn't let go until the end. Lisa Crane develops the most delicious romantic comedies, and this one just might be my very favorite. However, all her books are must reads.” -- Lena Nelson Dooley, author of The 12 Gifts of Christmas, Esther's Temptation, and The Disappearing Ship, a novella in The Great Lakes Lighthouse Brides Collection

A romance that will take readers from the Lone Star State to Big Sky Country.

Aurora Taylor needs money to realize her dream of making a home for children who are considered ‘too old’ for adoption. Children who need a place to belong. Children like Aurora herself not so long ago.

Houston Manes needs money to keep his Montana ranch afloat. His trust fund is tied up with conditions in his grandfather’s will. In order to get the money, he has to marry and stay married for one year before his thirtieth birthday … and he’ll be twenty-nine in only a few weeks.

Houston’s sister and Aurora’s friend, in a twist of internet catfishing, match the two up and suggest they marry for one year. Houston will get his trust fund and keep his ranch. He’ll pay Aurora for the year they’re married, and she can return to Texas and build the children’s home.

A modern-day mail-order bride.

Love was never part of the arrangement.
