Lord, please forgive me for lying to a preacher, Destiny Murphy prayed as she stepped down off the train at the Portland depot.Although her friend, Harriet, had been the one to point out the mail order bride advertisement in The Matrimonial Times which started all of this, the other woman had advised Destiny against her current foolhardy course of action after Destiny had revealed that she'd been somewhat less than honest in her correspondence with Reverend George Branson, the man who had placed the ad in search of a wife.She hasn't lied outright in her letter, but there were several things that she'd failed to mention. And she wouldn't be able to hide it for long, since she hoped to convince her new husband to send for her three younger brothers shortly after the wedding and allow the boys to come live with them in the small town of Pine Bluff, Oregon. George Branson would want to know why Teddy, Henry, and James couldn't stay in New York, and she'd have to explain the reason that she feared to leave them there for much longer.But she didn't want to think about that now. Besides praying-and she feared that the Lord might not be feeling too kindly toward her just now-there was nothing she could do to help her brothers for the time being. Not until she had married and had a chance to judge what manner of man her new husband was and determine the best way to approach him to guarantee his cooperation. She had to ensure that he would accede to her wishes-no, it was more than a wish or a hope. It was a necessity.It seemed a rather daunting task to try to persuade a man she'd never met before today, who was little more than a stranger to her despite their plans to wed. But she would find a way to do it, for her brothers. And her parents, by extension. They wouldn't feel trapped in the tenements with no way out, if they didn't have the constant worry of providing food and a roof over the heads of their three young sons.Destiny was determined that she would accomplish what she had come here to do. Because she had no other choice.

I haven't seen James in over 10 years.Haven't missed him either.He was always such a jerk to me growing up.He's quite the top photographer now and a billionaire no less.And I'm an up and coming top model.Of course everyone will think because of my age I am with him only for his money.And then he lies to me.I feel so betrayed right now.My heart is broken.And then he looks at me, and it makes all the bad just goes away!He grabs me around my waist and brings me up against himself.The look in his eyes.The wanting in them is all I need to never let go of him.I need him now.

"Jones?"I almost thought I had made it up when I heard him call out my name. But when he repeated it for a second time, I knew I wasn't hallucinating. No one had called me Jones in over ten years and only one person had ever called me that in my lifetime. It couldn't be him, could it?I turned my head to follow the voice and the air got caught in my throat when I saw him.Standing a few feet away from me was Camden Johnson. Professional football player, recent trade to the local pro team, and the boy I grew up with. Not just the boy I grew up with, but the boy who I had loved since I was in seventh grade. I looked at him without saying anything, taking in everything that he was now. Tall, built, undeniably hot. His face was the same as the last time I looked at it, except older and more mature. He had stubble along his strongly formed jaw and his hair was longer than he normally kept it when we grew up together. His eyes pierced straight through every logical thought I was trying to form. Deep emerald and perfectly fit for his face, exactly as I remembered them. The eyes I looked for every day on the playground, the cafeteria, in the hallway, and that night during our freshman year in college.I had walked away from him ten years ago and vowed to move on with my life.But almost eighteen years later here he is again, staring back at me as I try to survive the hardest loss of my life. I would be smart this time.I would protect my heart this time.I wouldn't fall for him again.I would keep him at a distance in order to protect my heart for good this time. Forever and always.----IMPORTANT CONTENT WARNINGS: This book does contain a potentially sensitive theme of sudden spousal loss, grief, and anxiety.
