A Convenient Risk by Sara R. Turnquist

When her husband dies, Amanda is left alone with no way to survive.  She can't get a job because she's female and has a son to raise.  Her neighbor is fighting to save his ranch.  He decides to ask her to marry him so he can acquire the cows she owned.  It's to be a marriage of convenience only.  She says yes.

Goddess Fish Promotions and the author allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  You can buy a copy now.

As Amanda settles into the household, she meets Cook and Uncle Owen and the rest of Brandon's crew.  She enjoys the company but she feels useless.  No one gives her anything to do.  She's spent her married life being part of the ranch and resents not being allowed to do anything.  Brandon doesn't want her to feel she has to and stops her.

A lot of time is spent examining the characteristics of the husband and wife.  They both have had some problems in the past and it influences their action now.  As they work through their differences, Brandon asks his wife to hold onto God for support.  She tells him that God wasn't there for her before and she doesn't believe in Him.  Before the end of the story, she will.  

The ranch gets robbed, Amanda's son Samuel breaks his leg, Amanda almost gets killed by a bull, and Brandon is still trying to keep his ranch.  There's lots of action and at the end, there's lots of love.  The Christian factor isn't overwhelming and it has a good ending.  Sometimes it's harder to win a heart than you think it might be...
