The Opera House Bride
Description
He wanted a partner. God sent him a family.
When Clay Birch wins a hurdy-gurdy house in a poker game in the rough mining town of Grand Coeur, Idaho, he sees potential?not ruin. He dreams of transforming it into the finest opera house in the Northwest. But he needs a partner. A wife. One thing he makes clear in his ad for a mail-order bride: no children.
That little detail doesn't make it into the catalog.
Luvena Abbott arrives in Idaho with three children in tow?her orphaned nieces and nephew. A lady by birth, educated in the arts, and blessed with a voice like an angel, Luvena sees marriage to a stranger as her best hope to keep a promise to her sister.
Clay isn't ready to be a father, and Grand Coeur is no place for a family. But Luvena is determined to change both his mind and his heart. Together, they'll discover that the grandest dreams are built not on what's planned . . . but on what's found.
