Synopsis
A Rocky Mountain logging camp may be just the place to find herself.
To escape the devastation caused by the breaking of her wedding engagement, Isabelle Franklin joins her aunt in the Rocky Mountains to feed a camp of lumberjacks cutting on the slopes of Cougar Ridge. If only she could outrun the lingering nightmares.
Charles Bailey, camp foreman and Stony Creek's itinerant pastor, develops a reputation to match his new nickname -- Preach. However, an inner battle ensues when the details of his rough history threaten to overcome the beliefs of his young faith.
Amid the hazards of camp life, the unlikely friendship growing between the two surprises Isabelle. She's drawn to Preach's brute strength and gentle nature as he leads the ragtag crew toiling for Pollitt's Lumber. But when the ghosts from her past return to haunt her, the choices she will make change the course of her life forever--and that of the man she's come to love.
Synopsis
She's a debutante with broken dreams...He's a preacher with an unsavory past...Both want to bury their secrets...
Charles Bailey's life has done a complete turnaround. He may still be a logging crew foreman, and he may still have a past that would make a godly man weep, but he's also a man with a changed heart and a mission to serve as pastor to a small logging community. If only walking the narrow path weren't so difficult. The last thing he needs is the temptation of the vulnerable-and beautiful-new cook's assistant. It's clear she needs a friend, but anything more than that is completely off-limits...
Disgraced and grieving, Isabelle Franklin is packed off to work in a logging camp's kitchen in the Rocky Mountains. Though feeding a crew of barbaric lumberjacks can't be further from her life's dream, she finds a small measure of solace in the beauty of the land. And in the unexpected kindness of the camp's foreman, who's broad shoulders and gentle eyes make her feel...almost safe. Is it too much to hope that her unspeakable past can stay buried?
But not even the great Rocky Mountains can hide a person's secrets forever-not when God means to bring them to light. When all the gritty truth is laid bare, two hearts are forced to decide what they truly believe about God's amazing grace.
