Marry by Christmas, or lose it all—but he never expected his mail-order bride to steal his heart too.

Henry
I thought losing my mom before the holidays would be the hardest thing I’d ever have to face–until her will threw me a curveball: marry by Christmas, or the family ranch is gone. I swore off marriage once before, and a wife wasn’t part of my plans for the future. But my brothers had other ideas and bought me a bride.

Shay is everything I didn’t expect–beautiful, kind, and full of sunshine. She needs a way out of her old life, and I need a wife. Our agreement is simple: a marriage of convenience, no strings, no messy emotions. But as Christmas draws near and the snow begins to fall, the lines we drew start to blur, and guarding my heart becomes the hardest job of all. Maybe Mom knew exactly what she was doing after all, giving me a second chance to embrace love just in time for Christmas.

Quick and decent listen

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Spice: 🌶️🌶️.5

Cute story. Because it was short obviously it’s going to
Miss or skip some of the details you’d normally want. The beginning dragged, the first 2 chapters. Story was decent, female was funny. Spice was short but semi steamy. Worth the listen for sure. Narrators need to learn how to express their emotions better but it was free so there you go!
