β¦ Synopsis
From Booklist
Sarah Banks grew up on an isolated island off the coast of Maine. Her innkeeper parents died when she was a teenager, and she found a new family with former guests, the Knights. She agrees to work as their housekeeper over the winter; then, when their oldest son, Alex, is presumed dead, she marries him by proxy so his children can remain with their grandfather and uncles. Sarah is shocked and amazed when a stranger materializes, claiming to be the missing father of the children she loves. After evading rebels in Brazil, Alex doesn't trust beautiful Sarah, who he thinks is scheming for his family's money. As Alex gets to know her, however, he realizes that the spunky, naive blond bombshell has no desire to exploit the wealthy Maine landholders. Now the challenge is to convince Sarah to trust him and make theirs a real marriage. Chapman presents a cast of rugged characters in rural Maine who enact a surprisingly tender romance.
