For an Old Order Amish woman, being twenty-five and unmarried is bad enough. But to be shipped off to another community on a hunting trip to find a husband is downright humiliating. Mary Glick despairs that she'll never find someone who'll love her—until she sees Caleb Stutzman. They were as close as two people could be as children…until one devastating day that she still can't forget. They're older now, though, and his sweet and tender pursuit of her tempts her to forgive him. But ultimately can she trust him with her heart?
