They both made careful plans to protect their hearts… but love has plans of its own.
Olivia Carmichael is determined to leave her past behind. Taking a position as schoolteacher in a quiet California ranching town, she plans to build a life on her own terms—safe, steady, and free from the risk of trusting anyone again.
Luke Taylor isn’t looking for love. Still carrying the weight of disappointment, he’s arranged for a practical solution: a mail-order bride to help care for his younger sisters and keep his heart out of the equation.
But when Olivia enters his world, nothing feels simple anymore.
As unexpected challenges test their resolve—and a certain wily rooster seems determined to keep life interesting—Luke and Olivia find themselves drawn together in ways neither of them planned… and neither of them feels ready to face.
Will they cling to their plans… or trust God with what comes next?
If you enjoy faith-filled romance with tender moments, gentle humor, and the promise of second chances, this story will draw you in from the first page.
