About this ebook

He came South seeking an inheritance. He found a woman who could change his compass forever.

In a town still choking on the ashes of war, Evangeline clings to the one legacy she has left: her family’s struggling print shop and the truth it dares to publish. She’s sworn to keep her paper alive, even if it paints a target on her back.

When Derek arrives from Boston with a shocking proposal - marry him or he loses his inheritance, Evangeline has every reason to slam the door. He’s a stranger, a white man, and his offer smacks of arrogance. However, he also offers protection, resources, and the one thing she cannot print alone: the chance to make justice impossible to ignore.

What begins as a contract forged out of necessity slowly turns into something neither expected, and they must decide if they are willing to fight not only for justice, but for each other.

A marriage of convenience becomes a battle for truth, legacy, and a love powerful enough to upend a town.

Perfect for fans of closed-door, slow-burn historical romance with deep emotion, found family, and two people risking everything for a future neither dared dream.
