[A Convenient Christmas Bride LIH 01] • Convenient Christmas Bride

* **Hitched for the Holidays** ** ** ** *

After a pupil's prank forces Anna Mae Leland to take shelter with a widowed sheriff during a blizzard, she loses her teaching job--but gains a fiance. Josiah Miller needs a mother for his twin daughters and Anna Mae needs to protect her reputation. This business-only arrangement means the recently jilted Anna Mae need never risk the folly of love again.

Josiah has long admired the town's spirited schoolteacher from afar. In close quarters, she's an ideal friend and helpmate. Yet Christmas's arrival brings a gift neither dared hope for--a second chance at love and happiness...but only if they'll forego what's practical and follow their hearts.
