She needs a husband to save her farm. He needs somewhere to begin again. Neither of them intends to fall in love.
Lincolnshire, 1944.
Ruth Ellison has just buried her father and inherited Merefield Farm-along with a debt that could cost her everything by spring.
Ruth knows how to work the land, balance the accounts, repair a tractor, and argue with any official who doubts she can run a farm without a man beside her.
What she does not have is enough money to satisfy the bank.
Then her solicitor reveals one infuriating fact: a family settlement contains capital that belongs to Ruth, but she cannot claim it until she marries.
Tom Kershaw arrives home from France with a damaged hand, a toolbox, and a letter from Ruth's father promising him winter work. Once one of the best mechanics in the district, Tom is determined to prove he can still build a life of his own-and that he does not need anyone's charity.
When every respectable solution fails, Ruth makes him a proposal as practical as a farm ledger:
Marry her.
Keep his work, his wages, and his independence.
Help her get through the winter.
And make no promises they cannot keep.
But winter at Merefield brings shared meals, broken machinery, old grief, unexpected laughter, and a closeness that was never part of their arrangement.
With spring approaching and the war still moving overhead, Ruth and Tom must decide whether a marriage made to survive one winter might become the one thing neither of them planned to give up.
A tender, slow-burning wartime love story about independence, grief, belonging, and choosing to stay when you are finally free to leave.
