Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Cameron was unexpectedly thrown off, his voice a shaky mix of sincerity and fear. "What are you talking about? I love you. Your sister once saved my life, and I owe her. I thought marrying you would somehow repay that debt." Nellie sat quietly for what felt like an eternity.

Cameron felt his nerves tightening. His gut told him Nellie wasn't convinced.
