A runaway bride. A preacher with a past. And a threat that could cost them everything—even love.

With the beauty and voice of an angel, spunky Grace Everly has used her gifts to provide for herself and her little sister as a singer in a local saloon. But after years of unwanted attention from one drunkard after another, Grace has had enough. Determined to give her sister a better life, she sets her sights on marriage. But every respectable man shes ever met wants nothing to do with a saloon girl.

Out of options and forever impulsive, she becomes a mail-order bride and heads west—only to be met by a defiant groom who isn’t interested in playing babysitter. Furious, Grace storms away from the man, only to realize they have nowhere else to go. Thankfully, a kindly widow takes her and her sister in and even invites them to church the next day.

Grace immediately feels out of place with nothing but her past to lean on. She’s ready to return to Boston—until one look at the town’s handsome preacher changes everything.

Elias Flynn came north to lead with faith and integrity. As Eagle Rock, Idaho’s new bishop, he's determined to uphold his calling—not fall for a whirlwind of a beauty with a scandalous past. But when Grace sets her sights on him, he’s caught between duty and desire, and his carefully built walls begin to crumble. She’s everything he shouldn’t want—and everything he can’t seem to resist.

As a shadow from Elias’s past merges with local threats that grow more sinister by the day, danger quickly closes in. In a town full of judgment and secrets, he must choose: protect his reputation or fight for the woman who just might be his saving grace.
