Abby’s parents want her to marry a man she’s
never met. But how can Abby marry someone who’s secretly insulted
her? The only solution is to make sure he doesn’t propose. After
all, Abby knows that the only sensible match is a love match.
Excerpt:
“Take a risk, Abby. You can’t live here all your
life. You can’t choose to be so stubborn, so alone.” Edwin pleaded,
but his words came out harshly.
Abby did not hear this as desperation from a rejected suitor, but as
a halfhearted effort to fulfill his word. If he were in love with
her, why wouldn’t he talk eloquently and joyfully? Why couldn’t he
just say that he cared? What a blessing that he did not know what
love was.
Abby fired up. “Risk? You talk of risk when you are now not leaving
your home. You have given up your calling to minister, because it is
expected of you to become a lord. What risk have you made?” She had
found another way to drive him away. Her words were bitter and
sarcastic to hide the vulnerable self she was inside.
“Are you afraid,” Edwin asked bitterly. “Afraid of anything new? You
like to have control, even over your life and emotions. You like to
pick and choose to whom you show charity, always the Good Samaritan
that never feels a thing. What if God calls you to do more, be more
than you already are?”
Edwin paced and came back to her.
“Why is wealth so bad or a title so wrong? Are you unable to forgive
that I have them or that I wouldn’t forsake them for you? You have
made your choice and I would know the reason why.”

If marriage was an
occupation then Constance was determined to enjoy her search for
employment. Men after all made it easy to fall in love. Sadly,
though, they also made it just as difficult to stay in love.
Constance was not going to settle for an ordinary life as a wife.
She just had to convince a certain someone as well as herself that a
wedding could be the beginning of some adventures instead of the end
of them.
