Publisher's Synopsis
What happens when an abused woman, a broken little boy and an ex-convict come together?
Ruby Fulton has had a tough life, and it isn't getting any easier after her husband dies. Suffering under his abuse for years, all Ruby wants is independence, peace and a new chance at life. She is barely scraping by herself, and now she's responsible for one of Last Chance's orphaned children. The last thing she wants to do is sign herself up for another husband who will make her life miserable. But when the preacher insists that she marry again, what is a woman to do?
Cullen Parker is determined to leave his past behind him and live an honest life. When he hears about Last Chance, Nebraska, he's sure it is the perfect place to find work. He agrees to work on Ruby's farm in exchange for room and board, but he definitely isn't looking for a wife.
It seems like the perfect arrangement, but the town pastor sees a scandal. He insists they get married if Cullen is going to stay. What happens when Cullen offers a marriage of convenience? When Cullen's criminal past comes calling, the precarious balance of trust and convenience is threatened. Will they-or their marriage-survive?
Could Last Chance hold the answers for both of them?
A Groom for Ruby is a sweet and clean romance. While it is part of the multi-author Blizzard Brides series, this book can be read as a standalone.
