ABOUT THE BOOK



As the lone female in a houseful of men, Merrill Krause dedicates her life to caring for her family and their business, as her dying mother asked. Besides, it suits her; she's never felt like she fits what most people expect in a girl--she'd rather work with her father's horses and assist with the ice harvest. And though she's been mostly content up to this point, a part of her wonders if there will ever be anyone who will notice her amid the bevy of brothers determined to protect her from any possible suitors.

When Rurik Jorgenson arrives in their small Minnesota town to join his uncle's carpentry business, he soon crosses paths with Merrill. But unlike other men, who are often frightened away by her older brothers, Rurik isn't intimidated by them or by Merrill's strength and lack of femininity. The attraction between them begins to build...until Rurik's former fiance shows up with wild claims that bring serious consequences to Rurik.




Can Rurik and Merrill learn to trust God--and each other--when scandal threatens their newfound love?

MY REVIEW-Oh how I fell in love with this book!! Tracie Peterson delivers again with a novel that draws you into the lives of her characters. Not only do you have wonderful characters but you have the beautiful scenery described and I felt like I was there in Minnesota with the whole crew. I was drawn to Merrill and her difficulties of family life, being raised with all boys being a mother to them all. And you can't help but like Rurik, the strong handsome Swede who steals her heart. Overall a great story that has adventure, mystery and romance, along with some Swedish and German language sprinkled throughout. Loved it!!
