A Lawyer for Larina (Mail Order Papa 17)

Weaver Larina Cristobal lives a quiet life on the mountain sheep ranch she and her late husband operated. Following a year-long melancholy over the family she would never have, Larina approaches her widow sister, Willa, with a plan to bring new husbands into both their lives. The widows place an ad for a husband in three Eastern newspapers. Even if they don’t find love, they won’t lead solitary lives.

Lawyer Evan MacQuarrie’s latest courtroom win leaves him shaken mentally and doubting he ever wants to lead another trial—definitely not one where a child’s life is at stake. An ad in the Philadelphia newsletter for a widow sheepherdess looking for a husband in a small mountain town catches his eye. A quiet life tending animals sounds perfect. After verifying she has no children, he travels West—only to discover Larina’s in jail…for abducting a child. Will he face down his fears to give this new life a chance?
