Bestselling author Tracie Peterson strikes again with a heart-melting romance that’s mysterious and edgy in all the right places.
Merrill Krause was pushed into the role of ‘mother’ from an early age. This never bothered Marrill, she always enjoyed caring for her brothers and father, looking after the horses and helping with the ice harvest. But a voice in the back of her head always wondered if anyone would notice her behind her protective brothers.
The town’s newest resident, Rurik Jorgenson, soon crossed paths with Merrill while working for his uncle’s carpentry business. This boy was unlike the rest; he wasn’t put off by her strong character and lack of femininity and could cope with her older brothers too. But typically there’s always a catch… which she learns at the most unfortunate time.
Will young love blossom, or will it wither at the first sight of scandal?
