Lonely bachelor Noah Vestal longs for a family of his own. His inherited farmhouse feels empty, and working the expansive orchard doesn't keep his mind off his life in America before being shipwrecked on the Land. When he learns the lovely widow next door is being pressured to marry a man she's never met and to leave her son behind, he offers to marry her. She could have a home and keep both of her children, and he could fill the orchard house with the family he longs for. But when Noah's inheritance is contested by someone claiming to be the orchard's rightful heir, he stands to lose everything-including his new family.

Bette Owens has made the best of things since losing her husband three years ago, but now her forceful in-laws want rid of her. When they persuade her parents to help separate her from her son, she has nowhere to turn but to the generous bachelor next door. She has always admired Noah and misses the protection and companionship of having a husband, so when Noah proposes a quick marriage, it seems like a wise remedy. Just when her children are settling into their new home-and love between Bette and Noah seems possible-she discovers Noah isn't who he says he is.

While the Good Springs elder council becomes judge and jury over the orchard's ownership, Noah's dreams of supporting a family and being part of a community slip away. And as Bette's friends side against her, she finds herself in an unimaginable fight for her family-and for love.

Can their marriage of convenience withstand the battle for inheritance, family, and love?
