Seven Reasons to Stay (Brides West)

Rebecca Hammond is desperate. Widowed, penniless, and fleeing her cousin's aggressive pursuit, she answers a mail-order bride advertisement that promises a fresh start in Oregon Territory. But when she arrives at the Crawford ranch, she discovers the advertisement was a forgery—written by a fourteen-year-old girl desperate to save her family. Daniel Crawford is a broken man. Blamed for a church fire that killed three people, shunned by his community, and haunted by his wife's mysterious death two years earlier, he's barely holding his failing ranch together. His seven traumatized children are running wild, and he's given up hope of anything better. Their marriage of convenience is supposed to be purely practical—Rebecca will manage the household, Daniel will provide protection. But as Rebecca fights to heal seven wounded children and stand up to an entire town's condemnation, she uncovers dark secrets that shatter everything the community believes. Catherine Crawford wasn't a victim of illness… Daniel wasn't responsible for the fire… And someone in Copper Ridge will do anything to keep the truth buried. As danger closes in and Rebecca falls for the man she married as a stranger, she must decide: flee to safety or fight for a family that's become her own and for a love she never expected to find. A sweeping historical romance of redemption, justice, and the families we choose for ourselves.
