“You are our last hope to stay together,” Bella said.

“What do you mean?” Philip asked.

She couldn’t explain about her fiancé breaking their engagement. That she’d refused to let the boys end up in an orphanage.

Bella watched the emotions rush across Philip’s face. He was a handsome man with deep blue eyes and straw-colored hair.

So far she’d been timid with him, but her future and the future of her nephews depended on this man. She squared her shoulders and lifted her head high, then said, “Look, you placed the advertisement and I have arrived in answer to it. Are you going to marry me or not?”

Would he abandon her and the boys to their fate? She’d answered the advertisement expecting him to marry her. It’d never dawned on her that he might not have placed it.

She’d been wary of who might be at the end of the trail, but now that she’d met Philip, Bella knew God had a plan. If only Philip would see it, too, she’d be able to relax.
