Books like To Love Them All by Eva Rutland
Stephen Prescott, a driven businessman who has long dismissed the idea that love endures, finds himself unexpectedly responsible for his orphaned niece and nephew after a family upheaval. To give the children a stable, caring adult, he arranges to hire social worker Marcy Wilson as a surrogate wife. Marcy, known for her spirited, devoted nature, embraces the children as if they were her own. While Stephen sees the match as a practical arrangement, Marcy is not a homemaker by business logic; she seeks the emotional connection and enduring love that Stephen has not provided. The story follows their evolving relationship as the boundaries between arrangement and genuine affection blur.
