AN UNEXPECTED PARTNERSHIP

Quaker Rachel Woolsey dreams of having her own bakery and her own homestead. But the odds are stacked against her-until the handsome ex-soldier she nurses back to health offers to help her. Like Rachel, Brennan Merriday is an outsider. But he'll be the temporary ally she needs, and her foolish attraction will fade once he's gone.

At first, the only thing Brennan wants to know about Pepin, Wisconsin, is how fast he can leave it. Perhaps in Canada he'll find peace after a bloody war. Yet repaying his debt to the pretty baker offers unexpected solace. She saved him once. Now he longs to rescue dreams of family-for both of them.

Yet he can't help getting riled by the threats Mercy keeps receiving. Her trailblazing courage could reignite his faith and humanity. And his loyalty could make her dream--for the first time--of a family of her own."--P. [4] of cover.

When they arrive in Wisconsin, he'll see that she and her baby daughter want for nothing...except the love that war burned out of him.

Nothing is impossible-as far as idealistic schoolteacher Verity Hardy is concerned.

The lovely widow is certain teaching freed slaves in a Virginia town torn apart by the Civil War will help heal bitterness and old wounds. But she's finding that the school's cynical builder, Matthew Ritter, has little reason to have faith in her-or anything else.

An ex-Union captain, Matt has seen more than his share of destruction. And the threats he's getting about the school are almost enough to make him give up. But Verity's spirit and courage inspire him to fight once again for what he believes in-and to show her they can reach their dreams together. . . .
