The wife he didn't expect Could be exactly what he needs With his house and business destroyed in a fire, widower Silas Hochstetler desperately needs somewhere for him and his children to live. Needing help to pay her mortgage--and secretly longing for a family of her own--spinster Mary King answers his ad for a wife. Navigating their new life together with the children isn't as easy as they thought, though neither can ignore the spark between them. They might be strangers, but their marriage of convenience might just lead to something real. From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.
