The Courtship Bargain

By Rebecca Alder

A false courtship. A true love.

Emma Bontrager is tired of others deciding whom she should marry.

When a matchmaker brings another unwanted suitor to the farm, Emma makes a reckless bargain with farrier Benjamin Troyer. They will pretend to court long enough to stop the matchmaking, then part as friends.

But their plan soon becomes complicated. Benjamin listens when others do not. Emma sees the gentle strength behind his silence.

With every buggy ride, barn raising, and shared confidence, their false courtship begins to feel dangerously real.

When the truth comes out, Emma and Benjamin must face the people they have deceived-and the feelings they have been afraid to confess.

Can a love born from a dishonest bargain survive the cost of honesty? Or will fear destroy the one match neither of them expected?

An Amish romance about courage, forgiveness, and choosing love freely.
