Waiting On:
Title A Sensible Arrangement
Author: Tracie Peterson
Publisher: Bethany House
Publication Date: April 1st, 2014

Synopsis:
From GoodReads
Marty Dandridge Olson is a widow looking for a way out of Texas. Widower Jake Wythe has secured a job as a bank manager in Denver, only to discover that the bank board wants him to be a married man. With Texas in his roots, he advertises for a Lone Star bride, and Marty answers the call. They both agree they are done with romance and love and will make this nothing more than a marriage of convenience.

Marty works to carve out a new life in high-society Denver as Jake works to guide the bank through a collapsing economy. But when money goes missing at the bank and accounting discrepancies point to Jake, he must find a way to prove his innocence. Yet all he wants to do is go back to Texas and own his own ranch. Marty, on the other hand, owns a ranch–one she’s never told her husband about. She hates Texas because it represents the losses in her life. But as the couple grows closer and love begins to bloom, Marty realizes she needs to tell Jake the truth. Can she come to terms with the past and her anger toward God in order to make room for love?

Why I'm Waiting:
I have been a fan of Tracie Peterson's books for a long time. I think I've read almost all of them, and it's fun when a new one releases. With the story partially based in Texas, I'm looking forward to it all the more.

What are you waiting on this week?
