Alone and pregnant, Erin Dunmore is desperate to find a husband-or risk facing a hard future as a single mother. She places an ad in the newspaper seeking matrimony, hoping beyond hope that her dreams of a home, family, and love will come true. Mace Dalton needs a wife to keep his home, but between the hardships of living on his secluded ranch in Washington Territory and raising his rambunctious children, prospects are few. When he sees Erin's ad in the newspaper, he reckons she may be his last chance at marriage. Little does Erin know that while Mace has all the home and family she can ever want, he believes love to be a thing of his past. But as she settles into his house, Mace finds that she may be settling into his heart as well.
