Abbie Ann Kane, the youngest of Jacob Kane's three daughters, is a busy woman. In addition to working at Kane's Whatnot and teaching Sunday school at the Third Street Church, she leads the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union chapter in promoting women's suffrage and Prohibition. But their campaign is not universally popular. While Abbie focuses on hleping abused women, her brother-in-law, Sheriff Gabriel Devlin, investigates several threats directed at her.
For years, Noah Carson ran a successful shipworks in Connecticut—that is, until his business partner cheated him out of his share, not to mention his wife. Hoping for a fresh start, the recent divorcé moves with his six-year-old son, Toby, to Sandy Shores, where he joins his uncle's window business. But Noah's passion for shipbuilding proves hard to stifle, especially when a local businessman commissions him to construct a ship to race in the annual regatta.
When an unexpected incident virtually catapults Noah Carson into Abbie Ann's life, the two feel an immediate attraction that Abbie works hard to ignore. After all, Noah is not a committed Christian, nor does he seem committd to marriage, considering his divorced status. Still, Abbie finds herself drawn to him—and to his son. Will the independent Abbie trust the Lord and surrender to His surprising plans? |
