Emily Durham, a devoted missionary on furlough, thinks her summer job as nanny to two adopted children is perfect. But instead of a position with a happy family, she is tossed into the middle of tension, suspicion, and danger.
Fighting against the clock, Dillon Brewington has to find who’s behind the increasingly deadly attempts against his brother. However, he might have made the wrong decision in teaming up with the children’s captivating nanny. Distracted and falling fast, he learns of another, completely unexpected, threat—his love for Emily.
Can he sacrifice the feelings in his heart for the sake of her calling?
Can she?

Love to read
Another great book. Love these stories . The mystery was good and everything was great. Even though we are of a different Christian faith you made it easy to read because you didn't Inject specific theology.

This book will rope you in from the first page. It's sweet yet has a dark undertone from the get-go, which keeps you wanting to not put it down. This is a work of Christian Fiction and the author shows her belief throughout the whole book, so if you're not into faith and prayer, this book is not for you.
HOWEVER, for those that enjoy a cute, sweet, faith-filled book, this is for you!
This book is part of a series, and past characters in other novellas of this series are referenced, so if you haven't read the other books, pick them up too! Emily, from the Durham family, is grounded in her service to God as a missionary. While on break, she decides to become a nanny to a uniquely blended family, who might be considered blessed, but lately the family she works for seem to can't catch a break! Not only that, but the uncle to the children she sits for, is someone who she can't seem to figure out, but Dillon certainly seems to do a fine job questioning where she should go after the summer ends.
Dillon is confused. Since Emily arrived, strange things have happened to his family. Will they figure things out before problems go from bad to worse?
This book reminds us who really is in charge. I love Emily's prayers and songs, and her constant faith in God. If we could have a bit of her faith and share it with others, I'm sure our world would improve greatly!!

Enjoyed
I have read three of her books. I am glad I gave this author another chance. This was a fun book. Having devoted a life to listening to Gods plan for her and to act as his servant in serving missions worldwide has made Emily aware of what it means to act upon the promptings of the still small voice. In doing so, did she listen correctly and throw away her chance for a family of her own?

Kept me interested
I enjoyed this book thoroughly. There was intrigue, and romance, and a good plot and intriguing characters. Definitely Christian ,without being preachy.
It's so nice to read a romance which doesn't involve steamy sex scenes. Grown-ups know how it works. They don't need how to's.

Loved the book-I like how the author showed how Linsey-when she gave in to satan's first trap of boredom in the household-became his prisoner so to speak, and how when you give your life to God he cares for you always and when necessary, he sends in his reinforcements to get you. Again...loved the book-great story!

Enjoyed this novel immensely! The plot situation was unique, as were the characters.
I did have a bit of trouble. Got lost a couple of times when it seemed like a character wasn't where he/she should have been at that time in the plot.
But, anyway I look at it, it was a super read!

What is God's will for Emily
Another excellent book by Regina Tittel. Well developed characters and story line with enough intrigue to keep you reading until the story is finished.
