Can a marriage by proxy work when the couple has never met?


Nathan, a widower,  critically injured in a Civil War battle, lies on his deathbed. His best friend, Ben, promises to care for his daughter. 
Doomed to become a spinster, Ben’s sister, Allison,  jumps at the chance to become a widow when Ben suggests she marry Nathan. She must act quickly because the doctor said he wouldn’t last out the week. A problem arises after the marriage—Nathan doesn’t die, and the couple realizes they need to end the marriage or try to live as a family to make the best of the situation for the child. Can Nathan live with Allie’s problem, and can Allie cope with Nathan’s disability? Will the platonic arrangement become permanent or will the couple come to fall in love?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Amazon best-selling author, Barbara Goss, is married and lives in Western New York and to date has written 50 Christian/Clean Romance books, mostly westerns. She enjoys crossword puzzles, reading, swimming, and her feline writing helper, Molly, but not necessarily in that order. She writes exciting stories with a bit of God’s word spread within, without dominating the story.

Barbara began writing in 1988 and her first book, Forbidden Legacy, won first prize for fiction at a Christian Writers Convention in Titusville, Florida in 1989. This won her a book contract with Publishers: Fleming Revell and later Baker Books. She wrote four books for them under contract. She then took a few years off to work full time as a secretary to the county hospital and the local school system.

Barbara’s greatest influence in writing is the 100 books written by Grace Livingston Hill. As a Christian writer, Barbara weaves some godliness into the romance and adventure yet her books are always clean. Barbara is well on her way to catching up with Ms. Livingston.

She is now turning her wonderful Ebooks into Audiobooks. Look for them on Amazon and Audible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing story of 2 brave people
Reviewed in Australia on 27 October 2018
I enjoyed the unfolding of Nathan and Allies story. Two people brought together by fate. What started out as a urgent arrangement to give belle a mother evolved to a happy ending for two strangers. Both have battles with health and hearts. But they find a way. Thanks for the great read.

Reviewed in Australia on 3 November 2018
I love it when an Author writes a story that is realistic of that time. Writing about Soldiers who have lost limbs and how they cope with it. Very different story and very enjoyable. I hope to find Bens story though.

4.0 out of 5 stars For Belle?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2022

You have to love that for both Allie and Nathan their priority is Belle and her happiness and wellbeing. They have very low expectations for themselves, which is heartbreaking, but together they learn acceptance of their own limitations, have hope for a better future and they find a love they never knew was possible. Heart warming and uplifting this is a really sweet addition to the series. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Another great book by Barbara Goss! I love the premise of this series, it is fantastic. The story of Nathan and Allie is a great one. I loved the flow of this book and how the relationship develops with the couple. The way Ms. Goss writes, it brings the characters to life where you can relate to them. Even after reading this book, I think, hmmm. I wonder how they are doing now? Now that is a great book.
