"I Need a Wife and You Need Protection"—The Lakota Giant Declared to the Lonely Teacher

"I Need a Wife and You Need Protection"—The Lakota Giant Declared to the Lonely Teacher

Dakota Territory, 1879. At twenty-nine, Grace Matthews had resigned herself to spinsterhood. While other women her age were raising their third or fourth child, she stood alone in her one-room schoolhouse, teaching the frontier children of Willow Creek. Love, marriage, family—those dreams had withered like prairie grass in the endless Dakota winds.

Then Walking Bear filled her doorway. Six feet, seven inches of weathered Lakota warrior, speaking words that would change everything: "I need a wife, and you need protection." No flowery courtship, no romantic promises—just raw honesty from a giant who saw marriage as survival and partnership as strength.

But what begins as a practical arrangement between two lonely souls slowly transforms into something neither expected. As military tensions rise and outside forces threaten their fragile new bond, Grace discovers that sometimes the most extraordinary love stories begin with the most practical proposals.

This isn't just a tale of romance—it's a story of second chances, of finding love when you least expect it, and of discovering that it's never too late to rewrite your destiny.
