Left with no choice, she is bound by fate to wed her beloved’s brother, Judd Seavers. Tall, dignified, and a former soldier, Judd’s presence stirs both admiration and conflict in Hannah’s heart. On a majestic backdrop reminiscent of the Rockies, their illicit romance grows, but shadows of the past linger. With a child on the way, Hannah wonders whether the original father will reappear and if Judd will honor his promise—or whether the borrowed bride will remain a secret, entwining love, duty, and destiny.
