Married for Christmas (Willow Park #1)
by Noelle Adams
After years of dreaming, Jessica is finally getting married, but the marriage isn't exactly what she thought.
Daniel is her best friend, and she's known him all her life, but he's never gotten over losing his wife two years ago. His dream is to become the pastor of the church in their hometown, but the small-town congregation keeps balking over calling an unmarried minister. Since Daniel needs a wife and Jessica wants a husband and family, she proposes an arrangement that benefits both of them.
They can get married. They can build a life together. They can celebrate Christmas as a couple. It's fine that he doesn't love her. And it's fine that she's not exactly suited to be a small-town pastor's wife. And it's fine that she's more attracted to her sexy, brooding husband evMarried for Christmas pulled at my heartstrings and had me tearing up more than once. Jessica proposes to her widowed friend Daniel for convenience sake ( or so she says to him) . Daniel is trying to get a position as a pastor in their old hometown and Jessica is trying to move back to her hometown to be closer to her ailing mother that is in a nursing home. She makes the proposition and he accepts on the condition that she understands that it will be a loveless marriage, but one of mutual affection and friendship. Though they have an agreement Jessica becomes more and more in love with Daniel and even though she feels like he feels more and more emotion for her throughout the book he is constantly pulling back from her and at points in the book you want to punch and strangle Daniel through the pages.
