The Marriage Agreement
Proposing a marriage of convenience to a rugged logger is the boldest move of Nora Underhill’s sheltered life. In return for Simon Wallin’s protection from her overbearing family, the unassuming seamstress offers prime frontier farmland. But their paper marriage changes when Nora’s greedy brother tries to draw her back into a life of drudgery. Her only option: move to Simon’s farm, and into the center of his loving, unruly family.
Years of shouldering responsibility have left Simon cynical and reserved. But little by little, Nora’s warmth opens his shuttered heart to joy. With their marriage claim under threat, can this practical arrangement blossom over the holidays…and become a love for all seasons?
Hott Review of A Convenient Christmas Wedding:
If you’re looking for an endearing Christian Christmas Romance look no further than A Convenient Christmas Wedding!
In this sweet novel we visit the Wallin family, once again. Their loving relationships, worship of Christ, and Christmas celebration are enough to put you right in the Christmas mood. While you needn’t have read the other Frontier Bachelors stories to enjoy A Convenient Christmas Wedding, knowing the family’s personalities certainly adds to the experience.
I absolutely love Nora. She’s such a sweetie and made me feel very protective of her. I couldn’t help but be angry throughout the book at her brother and sister-in-law. The way they abused her servant nature was shameful. It was wonderful to see how the Wallin family and especially Simon gathered around her to protect her and build up her confidence.
I do think that A Convenient Christmas Wedding is a great book to help a young or newly married female learn to be a good wife. Thinking about your spouse before yourself is an aspect of marriage that many forget. In this book we see first-hand how helpful and strengthening that can be.

Author Bio:
Regina Scott started writing novels in the third grade. Thankfully for literature as we know it, she didn’t actually sell her first novel until she had learned a bit more about writing such as vocabulary, sentence structure, and plot. After numerous short stories and articles in magazines and trade journals, she got serious about her novel writing. The Unflappable Miss Fairchild was her first novel to be published (March 1998).
Besides her novels, Regina Scott has had published three Regency novellas (“The June Bride Conspiracy” in His Blushing Bride, “Sweeter Than Candy” in A Match for Mother, and “A Place by the Fire” in Mistletoe Kittens). Two of her novels, A Dangerous Dalliance and The Twelve Days of Christmas, have been translated into German. A Dangerous Dalliance and The Incomparable Miss Compton have been translated into Italian. Starstruck and Perfection have been translated into Dutch.
Regina Scott and her husband are the parents of two sons. They reside in the Tri-Cities of southeast Washington State and are members of the Church of the Nazarene. Born in 1959 and raised in the Seattle area, Regina Scott is a graduate of the University of Washington. She comes by her writing talent naturally–both her parents are excellent writers in their vocations as teacher and electrical technician. Her mother envisioned the plot for “Sweeter Than Candy,” the novella which was written as a tribute to her.
Regina Scott is a devout Christian and a decent fencer; owns a historical, fantasy, and science fiction costume collection that currently takes up over a third of her large closet; and has been known to impersonate an independent consultant specializing in risk communication.
