A Marriage by the Sea

Description

As the oldest of four sisters, Marissa Axton has spent her life trying to prove to her father that, even though she was not born a son, she can capably manage the family blueberry farm and business on Stony Ridge Island. Regardless of her success, her father insists she marry before he will give her the deed to the farm.

Despite the years he has spent away from the island, Felix Larock can't deny that he still has feelings for Marissa, his childhood best friend. Their friendship has always been a secret because of a long-standing feud between their fathers. However, when he learns that Marissa needs a husband, he rashly proposes a marriage of convenience. But their feelings for each other are far from pretend, and their relationship begins to blossom--until family secrets unravel and threaten to tear them apart.

Bestselling author Jody Hedlund begins a swoon-worthy new historical romance series following a family of sisters living on a picturesque island in Maine with this romantic story of forbidden love.
