About this ebook




It is a truth universally acknowledged that a lady of rank and distinction is no match for an impoverished preacher. Yet Damian Hathaway is entranced from the moment he spies Miss Lindsay Phillips entering his church. She doesn't appear any different from the other pampered society ladies--and she's betrothed to a gentleman of the ton. But Damian is determined to find the pure heart he's sure exists underneath all the ruffles and lace. The unlikely friendship formed by Damian and Lindsay is a revelation to them both, but is frowned on by her parents--and Damian's parishioners. Torn between two worlds, the pair must trust that their love can bridge the divide--and conquer all.

Ruth Axtell Morren

Ruth Axtell Morren wrote her first story when she was 12 - a spy thriller - and knew she wanted to be a writer. There were many detours along the way as she pursued more realistic goals. She studied comparative literature at Smith College, where she received a Bachelor's degree; spent her junior year in Paris; taught English and lived as an au pair in the Canary Islands; worked in international development in Miami, Florida. It was there she met her husband, a Dutchman from Suriname, who took her to the Netherlands to live for six years. In Holland Ruth began crafting her first serious story in between having children Justin, Adaja and Andre. It was there, too, she gained her first recognition as a writer when she made the finals in the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Contest in 1994. After the initial euphoria wore off, it was still several years before she made any progress. Ruth and her family moved back to the U.S. to the east coast of Maine. It was the ideal location - surrounded by spruce and fir, a short walk from the rocky seashore - to hunker down in front of her computer and write the stories simmering at the back of her mind. Ruth's inner journey of faith parallels her outward journey - seemingly circuitous, sometimes wandering in the desert - yet ever-guided by the Good Shepherd. Ruth currently teaches Spanish to her children and a small group of elementary school children in an after-school program. She also enjoys gardening and has recently learned to knit. Living in rural Maine has given her an opportunity to learn to start a fire in a woodstove on a cold winter morning, shovel snow and realize how many stars are in the sky at night. Ruth loves to hear from her readers via her email: ruthaxtell@morren.us
