Hannah Hannigan is sixteen when she loses her family and home and the Brennanmen enter her in the lottery. Ben is the kindest man, but she’s not what he wants in a wife. After three months, she finds herself alone again, looking for a family.
Ben Murphy has a huge ranch to lose in a divorce, so he only enters a rigged lottery with Elise Fairweather. Her father’s contracts and business connections are worth it. But the lottery her father rigged soon becomes unrigged when the Brennanmen enter a young girl and he’s stuck with her.
A foolish husband is about to send his wife into the cruel world, alone. It’ll take another orphan, a magistrate’s nephew, and a private detective to bring them back together again.
