In an 1880 mining town, a rancher is about to get a very special delivery . . .
The โpackageโ is addressed to him, but rancher Sterling Blackwell certainly didnโt order a baby! More scandalous still, he and the townโs pretty teacher are named as parents. With gossip running wild, only a marriage of convenience can protect little Gracie and their reputations until her real family is found.
Heather OโConnor is content to be the spinster schoolmarm of Valentine, Montana . . . until Gracieโs arrival stirs her heart. She canโt keep the adorable child without Sterlingโs help, though she promises not to interfere with his life. But staying aloof from her handsome husband isnโt easy with a tiny matchmaker in tow. A mistake brought them together, but love might just make them a family by Christmas . . .
