Husband for the Homestead

She needed a husband to save her homestead.He needed a place to outrun his past.When Elsie Grant advertises for a husband, it's not for love—it's survival. With winter closing in and trouble pressing from every direction, she needs a steady hand to help her keep the land that's all she has left.Caleb Hayes rides in answering that call—a quiet, capable man with eyes that have seen too much and a past he won't speak of.At first, it's an arrangement. Work. Shelter. A name on paper.But the prairie has its own way of binding hearts.As threats gather—greedy neighbors, a hard season, and the shadows Caleb brought with him—Elsie must decide if she can trust the man beside her.And Caleb must choose between the life he's running from……and the one he's just begun to build.
