Emma Uranova enjoys her office job until her boss disappears with the investors' money. To avoid the media storm and false accusations, Emma flees to Whispering Creek, Tennessee to live on her best friend' s secluded property. When a temporary position opens up in Nashville, Emma leaves small-town anonymity to pad her depleted bank account. With a handsome new boss and a steady income, Emma believes life is looking up... until she discovers she has transported the scandal in her backpack. Where is God when her life is falling apart? 

Wade Donoven is recuperating from a crash that sidelined him from the family electrical business. Worse yet, his prodigal younger brother is getting the glory for Wade' s accomplishments. Desperation, and physical setbacks, have him agreeing to let Emma help him manage the business office. But when trouble follows her to his doorstep, Wade must make some difficult choices. Sending Emma back to Whispering Creek may unknowingly place the woman he's come to love in danger.

Book Excerpt

Mom raced from her bedroom and embraced Cole, Sam, and the mystery date who practically leapt into his mom’s arms. The woman looked like she’d stepped out of an anime comic with her short dark hair and huge brown eyes. The girl could hypnotize you with one glimpse. He shivered. Not his type. 

     On cue, the group huggers turned in his direction. Pathetic brother on aisle one. 

     He grunted a “Hey,” barely lifting his hand off the cushion. Hopefully, they would get the hint that he wasn’t partaking in the festivities by his elevated leg and wrinkled workout clothes. His aftershave could be called eau de stale potato chip. 

     “Oh, football’s on.” Comic book girl proceeded to rush over to the couch. “It’s a close game.” 

     She hovered behind him, over his left shoulder. Couldn’t she have stayed by the door? If he was rude and ignored her, he’d get an earful from his parents. A headache pulsed behind his temples, so he didn’t need another lecture this evening. He shifted and made brief eye contact. 

     “I’m Emma.” Her hand shot out as if she was catching a short five-yard pass. This girl was pushy too. “You must be Wade. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
