A Beggar's Bargain

<p><strong>A shocking proposal that changes everything.</strong></p><p><strong>Desperate to honor his father's dying wish Layken Martin vows to do whatever it takes to save the family farm. </strong></p><p><strong>Once the Army discharges him following World War II Layken returns to Missouri to find his legacy in shambles and in jeopardy. A foreclosure notice from the bank doubles the threat. He appeals to the local banker for more time-a chance to rebuild plant and harvest crops and time to heal far away from the noise of bombs and gunfire. </strong></p><p><strong>But the banker firmly denies his request. Now what? </strong></p><p><strong>Then the banker makes an alternative proposition-marry his unwanted daughter Sara Beth in exchange for a two-year extension. Out of options money and time Layken agrees to the bargain. </strong></p><p><strong>Now he has two years to make a living off the land while he shares his life with a stranger.</strong></p><p><strong>If he fails at either he'll lose it all.</strong></p>
