The Blacksmith

By Cindy Nichols

A marriage of convenience may be the answer to their problems-but it could also tear them apart.

After a devastating fire leaves Olivia Blanchard homeless and alone, she's left with nothing-until Joe Stanton, Tombstone's blacksmith, offers her an unexpected solution: marriage.

Joe has no desire to marry the woman his domineering mother has chosen for him. When he meets Olivia, he sees a chance to break free and help someone in need at the same time. But his mother isn't pleased with his decision, and no matter how hard Olivia tries, she can't seem to win her over.

As Joe and Olivia navigate the pressures of family and society, they must decide if their marriage of convenience can turn into something more-or if the forces pulling them apart will win.
