Mary Robinson is in deep trouble. At the end of her rope and with no place to go, she begs Doc Reeves for help, and he comes up with an outrageous plan—find a fella and get married by proxy. Dwight, the brother of her best friend, steps in to fill the bill. Everything will be fine as long as Dwight keeps up his end of the bargain and stays away. No one will know the truth.
However, her proxy groom, Dwight Christiansen, soon finds himself in some hot water of his own back home in Louisville. A rich young girl has designs on him and won’t take NO for an answer. Resorting to making up lies about him, she winds up costing him his job. Things escalate to an overwhelming degree and Dwight feels he has no other recourse than to go back on his word and join his wife in Brownville, for a while at least. Surely, she’ll be glad to see him…right?
Wrong.
Having her absentee proxy husband in town causes all kinds of trouble for Mary.
She wishes she could send him back where he came from…if only he wasn’t so darn handsome, funny, sweet, kind, and everything a girl could want in a beau.
The problem is—once their agreement is over, he’ll be gone. She simply can’t let down her guard and fall in love with him!
At the end of just his first day there, Mary’s heart is already standing at love’s door.
Oh, heaven help me! What have I gotten myself into?
This is a clean, inspirational romance. The story contains themes of real life, but is suitable for all ages, as it contains no illicit sex or profanity.
