He needed a wife by New Year’s. She needed his dirt.
Jonah Calder’s grandfather left him the ranch his family has worked since 1889, with one condition in the will: Jonah has to be married by December 31st, or the land goes to a cousin in Scottsdale with a developer on speed dial.
Dr. Greta Vos is a soil scientist from Iowa with a PhD, a three-year federal grant and a spreadsheet for her own feelings. If she can’t find a working ranch to host her study by January 1st, she loses the grant.
So they make a deal over pie at the Two Rivers Café. A courthouse wedding. Separate rooms. Two years, then an amicable divorce.
The Calder farmhouse has one working woodstove and one heated bedroom.
The cousin has hired a private investigator. The whole county is placing bets. And somewhere in the attic, in a crate of Christmas ornaments, Jonah’s grandfather left a ledger that’s about to change everything.
Inside you’ll find
- Marriage of convenience
- Only one bed
- A grumpy traditionalist and a sunshine scientist
- A courthouse wedding with a golden retriever ring bearer
- Christmas on a snowbound Montana ranch
- A grandfather who planned the whole thing
