🌲 One falling tree away from the worst introduction in Mordrick's history. 🌲

(Historical Romance | Pets | Irish | Arranged Marriage)

Finn Rourke has spent years building a life on the edge of Mordrick, earning a reputation as the settlement’s friendliest face, hardest worker, and most dependable man. He has a sturdy home, a loyal mare, an oversized Newfoundland puppy, and a future he hopes to share with someone of his own. The only thing missing is a wife. After being unfairly denied a place in the colony’s marriage program, Finn is convinced his chance has slipped away. Then one unexpected visit changes everything. A near disaster in the forest brings a settlement clerk he can barely tolerate straight to his doorstep with a woman who was never supposed to be there. What follows is a first meeting filled with bad timing, embarrassment, rain-soaked chaos, and a dog determined to make an unforgettable introduction. Step into the rugged wilderness of a growing colonial settlement where paperwork mistakes can alter lives, friendships are tested daily, and the future can arrive when least expected. At the heart of it all is a good man trying desperately to make a better first impression before fate decides otherwise.
