His Small-Town Girl

By Arlene James

Wrong turn at the right timeFast–moving Texan Tyler Aldrich thought it a fate worse than death to be stuck in rural Eden, Oklahoma, overnight. Imagine the Dallas CEO settling in for homemade meat loaf at the Heavenly Arms Motel Yet something about quiet Charlotte Jefford made Tyler want to leave his worries behind for more than one evening. Was it their differences that drew Tyler in? The small–town girl was devoted to her family; he longed to escape his. Were they polar opposites thrown together by a wrong turn––or had God actually set them on the right path?
