A kindhearted spinster is more concerned about the needs of others than her own, which captures the attention and interest of the town's highly-sought-after bachelor minister... Madge Barra has a finger in every pie - managing her rascal half-brothers and their mail-order brides, feeding the diamond mining crew at Hope's Landing, and helping run the Ladies Auxiliary. Now she's being arm-twisted into serving as the church secretary until her handsome new pastor can hire someone to assist him full time. Abe Sullivan is at his wits' end preparing sermons, overseeing church renovations, and attending nonstop charity events. When someone suggests that the hardworking Madge would make the perfect temporary secretary, he considers her the answer to his prayers. All too soon, he finds himself dreaming of coaxing her into an even bigger role - as his wife! Heartwarming historical romance with a dash of humor, a twist of intrigue, and a happily-ever-after! Each title in this series can be read as a standalone. -Jo Grafford, writing as Jovie Grace
