The Pastor Takes a Wife: A Cowboy Arranged Marriage Romance by Annabelle Marin

The Stevenson Brothers - Book Two

He saved her from ruin. She saved him from himself.

Penelope: Disowned by my parents after I trusted an unsavory suitor, I was reduced to miserable poverty. I’m determined to survive on my own so I take a job at the local brothel.

Derek: As Pastor of the town of Redwood, when I discovered Penelope Harris, whom I remember as a sweet young woman, in such a state, I want to help, but the stubborn brat won’t hear of it. I have no choice but to visit her night after night, to keep her from ruining her life even more. Rumors soon start to fly about the pastor and the prostitute, even though nothing inappropriate has happened between us. To stop the rumors, I propose, and promise we will live as friends rather than husband and wife.

Penelope: Seeing Derek Stevenson ruining his life, I accept. But as time passes, it gets harder and harder to keep our promise to remain friends, even though he’s a stubborn, old-fashioned man who believes that wives should obey their husbands.
