Rancher Rex Hartman has never courted a woman, so when his brother-in-law's siblings show up in Flat River and need a place to stay, he finds himself attracted to one of their houseguests. But the more he gets to know Tillie, the more he realizes she's hiding a secret; one that could change his family forever. When the past catches up with them, will Rex be able to protect both Tillie and his heart?

★★★ The much anticipated sixth story in the Flat River Matchmaker Series, which began in The Farmers Wife. ★★★

Dreamer Bethany Moore wished to have a marriage like her ma and pa, but chances in Flat River were slim. There were only a handful of bachelors left, and none of them caught her eye in the slightest. Except one. When a bad storm sweeps her down river, she doesn't expect to be rescued by the rancher next door who has been haunting her dreams. Little does she know behind Benjamin's tough exterior lies a tender heart yearning for love.

Recluse Benjamin Kendrick thought he was too busy caring for his sister and building his small ranch to worry about finding love. When the local matchmaker plants a seed, it becomes all he can think about. After rescuing a trespasser from a collapsed riverbank, Ben's quiet life is turned upside down. With the storm raging and the roads to town washed out, he has no choice but to take her back to his house until the water recedes.

Bethany knows there will be people looking for her, and to be caught with the rancher could mean ruin in a town as small as Flat River. Once the rain clears, Ben must decide whether he should return Bethany to her home or make her The Rancher's Bride.
