Emily Sundberg has her life all laid out. She has a respectable job
as a teacher and an idea of whom she should marry. But does God have a
better plan?
Emily Sundberg considers herself a proper
young lady of the twentieth century. But a decade ago she behaved more
like a tomboy. So when the neighbor’s grandson came to visit one summer
when she was thirteen, they became fast friends. Emily even got her
first kiss—quite by accident.
Unfortunately Jake Edgerton told
all the boys something else. Rumors circulated, and Emily caved from
embarrassment and guilt. Meanwhile Jake returned home to Fallon, Montana
and she never saw or heard from him again.
Over the years
Emily has worked hard to prove to her peers and the people of Manitowoc,
Wisconsin that, despite past mistakes, she is an upstanding young
woman, one worthy of being a schoolteacher—and possibly Andy Anderson’s
wife. But even with the passing of time, Emily has never forgotten Jake
and how he nearly ruined her life…
And now he’s a US deputy marshal and he’s back in town!
