Once More a Family
ByPublisher Description
To bring his daughter home to Texas, widowed rancher Jack Burnett needs a wife. And the well-bred Ada Westmore, his neighbor's niece, will surely meet his father-in-law's approval. Not willing to open his heart again to love, Jack proposes a marriage in name only. But his independent bride proves more intriguing than he expected.
Needing to support her sisters after the collapse of their father's fortune, Ada reluctantly agrees to the handsome cowboy's proposal. The transformation from New York belle to prairie wife—and mother—is challenging for the onetime suffragist. But when their little family faces the threat of being torn apart, Ada and Jack must decide whether their marriage of convenience can become a marriage of love.

“This book is about Jack who wants to bring his daughter Laura home to Texas from boarding school in St. Louis, so Jack marries Ada who he thinks his first wife's father will approve of. Ada is able to get the house back in order before they met with Jack's former father-in-law in St. Louis, who gives his approval for Laura to move back to Texas as long as they send him updates and come and visit for a week. Laura doesn't really want to go since she doesn't know her father that well. But she does go back with Jack and Ada and adjusts to everything in time. Laura helps Ada after her father get hurt by a bull and is laid up for weeks. While Jack is recuperating there is a tornado that hits the town and Jack ends up getting out of his sick bed to go with Ada to get Laura from school during the storm. The town starts rebuilding and they put Ada in charge and she does a wonderful job. The church that was being built on Jack and Ada's property was knocked down in the tornado so Jack and a bunch of the men rebuild it without Ada finding out and when they were done Jack surprised Ada. They ended up renewing their vows in the church. At the wedding the townspeople decide that they need a mayor and Ada gets nominated for the job and she accepts.
