Inspirational Historical Romance's Rising StarOn his way to
interview for a position at a church in the Piney Woods of
Texas, Crockett Archer can scarcely believe it when he's
forced off the train by a retired outlaw and presented to
the man's daughter as the minister she requested for her
birthday. Worried this unfortunate detour will ruin his
chances of finally serving a congregation of his own,
Crockett is determined to escape. But when he finally gets
away, he's haunted by the memory of the young woman he left
behind--a woman whose dreams now hinge on him.For months,
Joanna Robbins prayed for a preacher. A man to breathe life
back into the abandoned church at the heart of her
community. A man to assist her in fulfilling a promise to
her dying mother. A man to help her discover answers to the
questions that have been on her heart for so long. But just
when it seems God has answered her prayers, it turns out the
parson is there against his will and has dreams of his own
calling him elsewhere. Is there any way she can convince
Crockett to stay in her little backwoods community? And does
the attraction between them have any chance of blossoming
when Joanna's outlaw father is dead set against his daughter
courting a preacher?
