A mutually beneficial temporary arrangement...
But can they keep it strictly professional?
Nursing student Amber Fleming couldn’t be more stunned when ex-marine Ethan Green makes an offer: he’ll babysit her twin girls if she cares for his injured grandmother. Amber knows it’s temporary. Ethan isn’t one for roots—or their hometown. But his steadfast caring has her wanting more than friendship. And with help from Amber’s mischievous twins, can they risk becoming a forever family?

“I can’t ask you to take on the care of two very lively—”
“You’re not asking. I’m offering. It’s important that you finish school.”
“Be that as it may, you will have enough on your hands taking care of your grandmother. I don’t want anyone’s pity.” Amber’s cheeks pinked. “You have no idea how humiliating it is to always be on the receiving end of charity.”
Something tore in Ethan’s heart. Then inspiration struck. He leaned forward. “What if we were to make a mutually beneficial deal?”
She gave him a look. “You and your deals.”
“What if we could do each other a favor?”
Her forehead creased. “I don’t understand.”
“Grandma is going to need more care than I can provide. What if you helped her? In turn, I could watch the girls so you can finish school.”
“You’re proposing an exchange of services?”
“Exactly. No charity involved.”
She studied him for a long moment. “I guess there’s no harm in giving it a try.”
Welcome to Truelove, North Carolina—Where True Love Awaits, set in the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
The course of true love doesn’t always run smooth, but never fear. The Truelove Matchmakers will make sure everyone finds their happily-ever-after.
Amber is afraid that she’s messed up so badly she will never find love again. Yet when she chooses forgiveness, she finds true freedom.
For Ethan, trust doesn’t come easily, either. Because he finds the courage to open his heart to Lucy and Stella, he and Amber find their happily-ever-after as a family.
No matter how tragic the past or present, God can take what is broken and make it into something beautiful.
