She lost everything. He lost hope. And somewhere between a locked train car and a broken family, God had other plans.
Quince has nothing left. After sacrificing everything to settle her father's debts, she's sleeping in a hayloft and scraping together meals at the local livery. When the time comes to sell her beloved horse — her last possession and companion — she doesn't expect to end up locked inside a moving train car, hurtling toward an unknown destination. Wherever she lands, it has to be better than where she's been.
Tyler isn't looking for a wife. He's looking for a miracle. Since the accident that claimed his wife's life and shattered his young daughter's body and spirit, he's been holding the pieces of their world together with worn-out prayers. The mail-order bride application was an act of desperation he'd rather forget. What he really hopes is that the horse he bought will be the spark of joy his daughter so desperately needs...
It isn't.
The horse seems just as broken as everyone else in the house.
But fate, it seems, has a sense of humor, delivering Quince unexpectedly, straight to Tyler's door, first as his housekeeper, then as the steady, gentle presence his wounded daughter needed. Quince finds herself pouring love into a family that desperately needs healing.
There's just one problem: every time she and Tyler are in the same room, the air crackles with the wrong kind of tension — and neither of them is quite sure it's as unwelcome as they'd like it to be.
Genre: Inspirational
