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!
