Book 3 of The Wallflower series.

Two years ago, Beth Miller became a widow.

Now she is the "Gray Lady" of Lancaster County-a young woman who has learned to be invisible, to wear only mourning clothes, and to never look a man in the eye. But her beauty cannot be hidden, and when the elders decide her presence is causing too much "unrest" among the men of the district, they take matters into their own hands.

Their solution: marriage to the one man no one can control.

Micah Kaufman has spent his whole life running-from expectations, from comparisons, from the weight of being the restless orphan who never belonged. He came home to help his aging aunt, not to be chosen as a husband for a woman who flinches at every touch. But when he finds Beth weeping alone in a garden, something in him shifts.

He doesn't want to be her obligation. He wants to be her choice.

In a marriage born of practicality, can two wounded hearts learn to trust? Can grief make room for love? And when a secret from their wedding night changes everything, will they finally stop running-toward each other?

A haunting story of loss, longing, and the healing power of being truly seen. Perfect for fans of Beverly Lewis and Shelley Shepard Gray.
