Toil and Tenderness

Neither of them married for love.

Eighteen-year-old Martha Taylor will talk to anything that will listen, and she has the kindest heart you could ask for. But when Blake Harlow, a stout merchant old enough to be her father, asks Papa for her hand, Martha will do just about anything not to become his bride.

Benjamin Ellison is a farmer’s son, six foot four, yellow-haired and green-eyed, and he wants a farm of his own more than anything in the world. When an old mountain man offers him one, there is only one condition. He must be married.

Can Martha and Benjamin find love in a marriage of convenience on a lonely mountain farm, or will they live with regret for the rest of their lives?

A sweet, clean Christian historical romance. Book Four of the Blue Meadow Springs series. Each book can be read on its own.
