I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

—Psalms 139:14

“What do you think you’re doing?” Joshua demanded.

“I had to take action before you sold the ranch,” Honor said.

“No, you didn’t. It’s not your business!”

She glared at him. “It is my business. I could no sooner turn my back on this town than I could forsake my own family.”

Joshua let out a scoffing sound. “You’re affecting my future. And Violet’s. How can you do that? Is this about getting even with me?”

She glared at him. “I’m not doing this for personal reasons.”

Joshua narrowed his gaze. “So it has nothing to do with any feelings you might have for me?”

Honor sucked in a shocked breath and met his gaze head-on. “Everything I felt for you died the moment you lit the church on fire.”

She could see the hurt in his eyes as he stormed out of the building. She felt bad about the animosity between them, but she couldn’t allow her personal feelings for Joshua to sway her decisions.

If she did, Honor knew she would be in a world of trouble.

Thank you for joining me on this Alaskan journey. Writing this Alaskan Grooms series has been a romance writer’s dream. I’ve had so much fun creating this Alaska-based series. The town of Love is filled with some very special characters. A sense of community ties them all together. Honor and Joshua are a fitting couple to end this series. They are two wonderful people who have been gifted with a second chance at love. Having fallen in love as teenagers, then ending an engagement at eighteen, they have truly earned their happy ending. Their love has endured. It grew and blossomed the second time around. Neither one of them had ever truly given up on each other. Their happy ending is a sweet reward.

Writing for the Love Inspired line is an honor. I feel very blessed to have my dream job. What’s better than working in my pajamas? I enjoy hearing from readers however you may choose to contact me.

For my nieces—Celina, Kylie and Nina.

May you grow up to follow your hearts

and live out your dreams.
