In order to adopt the little girl she's come to love, Maddy Potter needs a fianc, not a husband. Clayton Kincaid accepts Maddy's offer to "court" her and leave her at the altar in order to repay a family debt of honor. But when he arrives in Missouri, he expects a reserved widow--not a beautiful young woman. Clay realizes he can be the perfect suitor--but soon he'll long to be the perfect husband. Original.
