about the book


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.

excerpt

Emma glanced at the shed. “Do you think my car will fit in there?”

Sam tucked hair behind her ear. “It should. I can leave the UTV outside. It’s been mild.” Sam’s nose wrinkled. “You don’t think the press will follow you down here, do you?”

“I hope not.” Emma rubbed her stiff neck. She glanced at the stars above and silently asked the Lord for protection. She didn’t want a circus on Sam’s doorstep. “Though, I never thought I would be associated with an investment fraud scandal. If I had, I certainly wouldn’t have bought a car that screams ‘look at cute little me.’”

Sam laughed. The best sound of the day. “Your life screams ‘look at cute little me.’”
