Margaret Tuttle's story is one of love unsought, for she had been perfectly content with the well-ordered and conveniently predictable life she had arranged for herself.But something dark lurks beneath the surface of her placid and uncluttered being, something dusty with neglect, yet painful to the touch. Birdie Freeman is everything Margaret is not: homely, humble, and generous. It is Birdie who manages, through nothing but acts of love, to dredge up Margaret's memories of things better left buried. Then Margaret discovers that Birdie harbors secrets of her own. "This book reminds me of why I love to read."--Michelle Collings, Editor, Doubleday/Crossings Book Club

"If it is true, as they say, that a man must walk through darkness before he can become a writer, then I am well qualified." Following this book's original publication in 1998, Michelle Rapkin, Editorial Director of Doubleday/Crossings Book Club, wrote, "In a lifetime of reading, a handful of books stand out-this is one of them." In this story you'll meet Margaret Tuttle, who doesn't know how to give or receive love, and Birdie Freeman, who teaches her how to do both. Secrets are revealed, walls broken down, and lives changed. This is a book you will want to read again and again. From a review in Moody Magazine, Nov./Dec. 1998: "Achieves a literary excellence seldom seen in any novel and will leave no reader-believer or agnostic-untouched and unchallenged."

Book Description
Some rules are meant to be broken... One night in college is all it took to change everything, to destroy my life as I knew it ... all at the hands of my brother. I walked away from the aftermath, never looking back, regretting nothing. Seven years later, we're thrust back together following the tragic death of our father. All the loathing and hatred bubbles to the surface again when an ultimatum is woven into the last will and testament; work alongside him for a year and repair our tarnished relationship or risk losing our entire inheritance. Having no other choice, I pack up my life in Manhattan, leave my swanky penthouse, and fly to a small town in Montana armed with only my Armani suits and cocky attitude. Reconciling with my brother is the least of my worries when I meet Savannah, 'Savy', Martin. The sassy archery trainer is hellbent on turning me into a cowboy despite my obvious aversion to anything outdoorsy. Falling for her country charm and sharp wit should be out of the question considering she's best friends with my brother, but after one fiery kiss, my tightly wound reservations and edicts disintegrate in a cloud of dust. But when the past doesn't stay in the past, and relationships are tested, will love be enough to save us? In this small-town romance, secrets and unbridled passion are unleashed directly into the wild, wild west, setting all the rules on fire.

“Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber.”—Publishers Weekly She always followed the path of least resistance…until it leads her to a small town where she can follow her dreams. When Emma Cantrell’s marriage imploded, she learned a fast and painful lesson about trusting her heart. Then, on a visit to Magnolia, North Carolina, to see her brother, an elegant, if dilapidated, mansion for sale presents the opportunity to start over. Risking everything on her dream of opening the Wildflower Inn, Emma buys the house…just as the storm of the century hits, severely damaging the structure. But a chance meeting with Holly, a bride-to-be in desperate need of a new venue, gives her hope…and the name of a contractor who’ll work fast and cheap, allowing Emma to repair the inn in time to host the wedding and save her investment. A furniture builder who hasn’t picked up a tool in the five years since his wife died, Cameron Mitchell has no intention of agreeing to help this beautiful—and, he’d guess, entitled—woman insisting that he fix her inn. Until he learns that Emma was sent by Holly, the little sister of his late wife. Grudgingly, Cameron agrees to do the work, with one condition: that he be left completely alone. But the more time they spend together, the more Emma touches a part of his heart he was sure died long ago, forcing him to try making peace with his past.
