Synopsis
School Bells and Wedding Bells
James Wallin's family is depending on him to find a schoolteacher for their frontier town. Alexandrina Fosgrave seems to be exactly what he needs to help fulfill his father's dream of building a new community. If only James could convince her to accept the position.
Alexandrina has traveled west to seek a fresh start, not to find a groom. But after she's stranded in the wilderness with James, he offers her his hand in marriage to protect her reputation. Both are afraid to fall in love, but maybe an engagement of convenience could make them reconsider…
My Review
Rina has such an interesting backstory as the unsuspecting daughter of con artists who travel the country as exiled European royalty, escaping their debts as they go. She has major trust issues, especially with those who are charming and manipulative. Unfortunately for James, his charm is his major asset, and he is tasked with hiring her as the teacher for their fledgling community. He's intrigued by her fire and ice, hiding her insecurities behind her trained composure. I liked how they got to know each other so much better on their wilderness misadventure, and the way Rina learns to stand up for herself and resolve the conflicts she faces.
