She left believing the man she loved had chosen someone else. She was wrong, and it cost them both nine years.
Grace Miller ran from Willow Creek nine years ago with nothing but a borrowed bag and a broken heart, certain Eli Lapp had promised himself to another woman. She built a whole English life on that certainty - a career, an apartment, a self that never looked back.
Then her mother's stroke calls her home.
Eli never married. He never stopped watching the road for her, either - though he told himself, for nine long years, that he had. Working the Miller farm's chores side by side again, old feelings rise before either of them means to let them.
But Grace is about to learn that the story she's carried for nine years was never true - and that the truth was locked away, deliberately, by someone she trusted completely. A secret that will force her to choose between the anger she's owed and the love she never stopped wanting.
Eli has his own reckoning to face once he learns what was stolen from him too - and a choice of his own to make, between the safe life he could build alone and the harder, better one he'd have to risk everything to build with her.
A deeply emotional story of love, loss, forgiveness, family, and second chances, set against the quiet rhythms of Amish country.
A standalone with a guaranteed happy ending.
