Would God ever answer my prayer?

As Christmas 1886 neared, I was losing hope of finding my soulmate. My twentieth birthday came and went, leaving me dangerously close to spinsterhood. I fixated on a few rare qualities, but God parted the Red Sea. I’m sure He could arrange the perfect match for me.

That’s when I met him. His woodworking shop was bursting at the seams with last-minute Christmas orders. Overwhelmed, I wondered if he would even notice me.

Will my chance of finding true love become lost in the rush of the Christmas season?

Unbelievable! After all this time…

Last fall, my closest friend moved to work at his father’s ranch. Despite eight months of silence from him, I finally gave in and agreed to marry the man my father thought was the ideal son-in-law and business partner.

My best friend reappeared, disrupting my upcoming wedding to a different man and turning my life upside down. I can’t ignore the depth of my feelings for him, regardless of how mad I am.

His confession came as a shock, and I wasn’t ready to forgive him, especially after we were stranded miles from the ranch overnight.

Should I marry the man Papa wants me to? Or should I follow my heart despite the fallout?

The man of my dreams is still in love with my sister, his ex-fiancée.

By 1894, he’d had enough time to forget about my older sister and start noticing me. He reminds me so much of Papa. A man with a strong faith in God. A horse trainer. All my efforts, like baking extra treats just for him, have yielded no results.

A surprise encounter one evening gives him the opportunity to save my life. I sensed something change between us.

Is it foolish to hope he might someday love me?
