His Substitute Mail-Order Bride by Sherri Shackelford

Stand–In Wife

Russ Halloway's mail–order bride never boarded the bride train! In her place is recently widowed Anna Darby Linford, sister of the last woman to jilt Russ. He's surprised to see Anna again – and stunned when he discovers she's pregnant. Marrying Anna seems the right thing to do...especially since love continues to evade him.

Anna hopes Russ will help her find employment – becoming a wife again never even crossed her mind. Yet as she struggles to start over in the small town, Anna forges a genuine connection with Russ. When secrets from her past threaten Russ's future in politics, can they protect their family in the making?
